The reimagined revival of
The Who's Tommy which had a hit run at Chicago's Goodman Theater this past summer will join other renovated revivals including
Cabaret, Merrily We Roll Along, and
The Wiz on Broadway. The musical based on The Who's 1969 concept album about a deaf, mute and blind pinball wizard will begin previews at the Nederlander Theater, to be vacated by Shucked in early 2024, on March 8 with an opening set for March 28. The Who's Tommy originally opened in 1993 with direction by Des McAnuff who will return as stager. McAnuff also co-wrote the book with The Who's Pete Townshend. The two reunited for this production to revise the script.
Casting will be announced at a later date.
