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”
