The Main Theatre stage is one giant pinball machine for The Who's Tommy, continuing through Sunday (May 29).
Granada Artist-in-Residence Mindy Cooper directs this pioneering rock opera, based on The Who’s 1969 double album of the same name, mostly composed by the band’s guitar playing Pete Townshend, and featuring such now-classic hits as “I’m Free,” “See Me, Feel Me" and "Pinball Wizard."
The title character becomes deaf, dumb and blind as a child, after witnessing a murder. Ultimately, he breaks free from his emotional trauma and becomes a pinball wizard.
