The Who's Tommy on stage

Dan and Steven and I went to see The Who's Tommy on stage last night at the Power Center in Ann Arbor. It was put on by UM department of theater and drama, and they did a great job with it. There was a bit of a microphone problem at one point with the actor who played the adult Tommy, but other than that, the production was first rate.

Lord, the music was well done, and it just rocked!

The plot is unusual, about a little boy who becomes completely withdrawn from the world following seeing something terrible when he is four, followed by being molested by an uncle when he is ten ~ but the music is just wonderful.

The entire cast, including the two little kids who played young Tommy, were all very good. The staging and dancing and backdrops wre also all first rate.

Bravo!
