Tommy the Rock Musical is a theater production based on The Who's 1969 rock opera album, Tommy. A collaboration between Pete Townshend and Broadway veteran Des McAnuff, the show is one part rock and roll and one part music extravaganza. Tommy is a young man who falls into a catatonic state after witnessing his own father commit murder. Traumatized and unsure how to handle the violent ordeal, he releases his frustrations by playing pinball. As he breaks through his catatonia, he rises to attention and becomes an international pinball champion.
