Tommy, The Who's
The Who’s rock opera, about a “deaf dumb and blind kid” who discovers special powers as a “Pinball Wizard,” makes for a thrilling stage experience, with a compelling story and exciting music. Unlike the splashy 1975 film version, which treats the story as a series of outlandish music videos, the 1992 stage adaptation tells a coherent, fascinating, sometimes disturbing story about child abuse and ultimate liberation.
