The rock musical reborn for a new generation!

Based on the iconic 1969 concept album, The Who's Tommy is the multi-award winning epic rock musical written by Pete Townshend.

With a cast of 22 performers and musicians, this is the story of the pinball-playing boy which has entertained and intrigued audiences for more than 40 years. A one-of-a-kind theatrical event!

“This exceptional production by Ramps On The Moon sinks its fangs into the jugular of 2016 and gives it a good hard kick up the arse”

Reviews

Wonderful

British Theatre Guide

An exuberant, inclusive and revelatory staging of Pete Townshend's classic rock opera

The Stage

Electrifying... Fresh, meaningful and moving and its killer tunes are delivered with blazing rock’n’roll attitude

The Times

Not just a raucous night full of Pete Townshend’s distinctive songs, but also a comment on the advances – or not – in disability rights in the postwar era

The Guardian

Captivating, explosive, mesmerising and emotional

Theatre Life

A huge, sumptuous extravaganza of a show
