This exciting show contains many memorable numbers including: Sensation, Acid Queen, Feel Me See Me, I'm Free but the most famous is undoubtedly Pinball Wizard. Wildly regarded as one of the best rock operas ever written, Tommy began life as a concept album released in 1969. Since then there has been the acclaimed film version directed by Ken Russell and in 1993 the piece was rewritten as a Broadway Musical winning 5 Tony wards that year, including Best Original Score for Pete Townshend.
