The Who's Tommy is a rock musical bursting with energy, based on the iconic 1969 rock opera album of the same name by The Who. Pete Townshend, the band's guitarist and songwriter, penned both the music and lyrics for the musical, capturing the raw power and emotional depth of the original songs. Des McAnuff collaborated with Townshend on the book, or script, crafting a theatrical experience that expands upon the original story. The Who's Tommy premiered on Broadway in 1993 and became a critical and commercial success.

The story centers around Tommy Walker, a young boy who experiences a traumatic event that renders him deaf, mute, and blind. Withdrawn from the world, Tommy retreats into a world of his own imagination. The musical follows his journey as he encounters various colorful characters, some helpful, others manipulative, who shape his experiences. Through music and fantastical imagery, Tommy grapples with isolation, explores his hidden talents, and eventually finds a path to healing and connection.

The Who's Tommy won five Tony Awards, including Best Musical, solidifying its place as a groundbreaking theatrical achievement. The musical's high-octane rock score, innovative staging, and exploration of complex themes continue to resonate with audiences, making it a captivating and enduring addition to the musical theatre canon.
