The Who’s Tommy
You’ve heard “Pinball Wizard” approximately a million times. But now see it all play out onstage when The Who’s Tommy comes to the Pantages. A dazzling new production of Pete Townshend’s groundbreaking 1969 rock opera will be performed in L.A. October 27 to November 15, introducing a whole new generation to the deaf, blind and mute boy who nonetheless “sure plays a mean pinball.” Expect powerhouse vocals, explosive choreography and enough rock ’n’ roll bombast to shake the chandeliers. Sadly, the baked beans choreo is strictly in the movie adaptation.
