The Who's Tommy is a rock musical with a book by Pete Townshend and Des McAnuff, based on The Who's 1969 rock opera, featuring music and lyrics by Townshend, with additional material by John Entwistle and Keith Moon. Directed by McAnuff, the story follows the journey of Tommy Walker, a "deaf, dumb, and blind" boy who becomes a pinball wizard and a spiritual savior after a traumatic childhood event. The show, which premiered in 1992 and hit Broadway in 1993, won multiple Tony Awards and has seen successful revivals, including a recent one in 2024, with its themes of trauma and celebrity remaining relevant.
