  • Based on the iconic 1969 album soon to be celebrating its 50th anniversary, this semi-staged concert production of The Who's Tommy is an exhilarating story of hope, healing, and the human spirit. This five-time Tony Award®-winning one-of-a-kind musical tells the story of the pinball-playing, “deaf, dumb, and blind” boy who triumphs over adversity.
    Casey Cott, star of the hit CW series, Riverdale, will play the title role. Tony Award® winner Christian Borle (Peter and the Starcatcher, Something Rotten!) and Mandy Gonzalez (Hamilton, In the Heights) will co-star as Captain Walker and Mrs. Walker, respectively. The cast will also feature Manu Narayan (Merrily We Roll Along, My Fair Lady) as Uncle Ernie, Kimberly Nichole, a fan favorite on season eight of NBC’s The Voice, as The Gypsy (“Acid Queen”), and Wesley Taylor (SpongeBob SquarePants, The Addams Family) as Cousin Kevin. Additional casting to be announced.
    Directed and Choreographed by Josh Rhodes
    Musical direction by Lynne Shankel
    Set and projection design by Paul DePoo
    Costume design by Andrea Hood
    Lighting design by Jake DeGroot
    Sound design by Kai Harada

    An astounding show. Both times that I had seen the national tour, the entire house was up on their feet by the middle of the second act! Truly a theatrically communal spiritual experience. Everything that good live theatre is all about.

      Not true- I have seen two of these center stage productions. They were both fantastic and very creatively put together. I would see more but the tickets are really expensive
