What is The Who’s Tommy musical about?
Based on the best-selling 1967 record, The Who’s Tommy is a supersonic take on the band’s concept album.When Tommy is just four years old, he sees his father kill a man and is traumatized into a state of catatonia. No longer able to speak, see, or hear, Tommy seems to have lost any connection to his family and the outside world. But one day, he stands before a pinball machine and his life is changed forever…
