FEATURED REVIEWS FOR The Who's Tommy

THE WHO’S TOMMY: THE GROUND-BREAKING ROCK OPERA SEEN, HEARD, FELT IN SIZZLING REVIVAL
9 / 10

Let’s just say for a moment that McAnuff and crew on-stage and backstage have morphed into pinball wizards themselves. As such, they’re hitting record-breaking numbers on the flashing and whistling revival machine they’re playing.

Broadway, Can You Hear Me? The Who’s “Tommy” Returns Vibrant as Ever After 30 Years
9 / 10

Indeed, the sets pop, the choreography is tight, and “Tommy” brims with fun. Maybe it’s a little nostalgic for classic rock fans. But I’ll take this over a lot of musicals with unhummable songs and flat scores. It’s really a tribute to Townshend, who set the bar high for rock after hearing “Sgt Pepper” and its consequent releases by other groups in the late 60s.
