Twenty years after Tommy was last seen in London, we are pleased to bring you these first look pictures of the new Tommy and Acid Queen from the new production of The Who's classic musical which opens at the Greenwich Theatre from 29th July for a limited season.
Based on the iconic 1969 double-album rock opera, which later became a film of the same title, The Who's Tommy is an exhilarating musical about hope, healing, and the human spirit.
After witnessing the accidental murder of his mother's lover by his father, Tommy is traumatized into catatonia, and as the boy grows, he suffers abuse at the hands of his sadistic relatives and neighbours. But as an adolescent, he is discovered to have an uncanny knack for playing pinball, a talent that breaks through his catatonia and puts him on the path to international superstardom. The story of the pinball-playing, deaf, dumb and blind boy who triumphs over his adversities has inspired and amazed audiences for more than 40 years.
Ashley Birchall (Starlight Express, Germany) plays Tommy and Carly Burns has been cast as The Acid Queen.
We hope you enjoy these incredible pictures.
Tommy opens at the Greenwich Theatre on 29 July 2015.
