About The Show

The Who's TOMMY

Peter Townshend’s tale of a young boy’s journey from pain to triumph is the most electrifying evening of rock and roll ever to play in a theatre!

ReVision Theatre's production of TOMMY is one you'll never forget. Putting our stamp on Tommy is a natural for us. This is a production of TOMMY that you will not see anywhere else and that you'll be talking about for years to come.

The Story...

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 neighbors. As an adolescent, he’s discovered to have an uncanny knack for playing pinball, and when his mother finally breaks through his catatonia, he becomes an international pinball superstar.

The Music

TOMMY was nominated for 11 Tonys, the show walked away with 5 Awards, including Best Score. The original cast album won the 1994 Grammy Award.
