Based on the iconic 1969 rock concept album, The Who's 'Tommy' is an exhilarating story of hope, healing and the human spirit. The story of the pinball wizard who triumphs over his adversities has inspired, amazed and puzzled audiences for more than 50 years.

This five-time Tony Award-winning musical was translated to the stage by theatrical visionary, Des McAnuff, into a high-energy, one-of-a-kind theatrical event.

EDI Assessment

In line with our EDI policy, we undertake an EDI impact assessment of all our artistic programming. The Who's 'Tommy' tells the story of the turbulent life of Tommy Walker, who witnesses a traumatic event in his childhood and consequently suffers loss of hearing, sight and speech. The play deals with some dark themes such as bullying and abuse.  It involves a large ensemble cast with significant flexibility over playing ages, gender identity, and complete neutrality on race/ethnicity. For the purposes of the narrative, certain characters will be specified as needing to be female- or male- presenting.
