Tommy - The Rock Musical

Peter Frosdick in association with The Blackpool Opera House is delighted to announce the UK Premiere staging of a new production of The Who's classic Rock Opera Tommy which will open on Friday 11 September and plays through to Saturday 26 September 2015.

This smash-hit Broadway and West End show will be directed by stage and screen star Paul Nicholas who starred alongside Elton John, Roger Daltrey and Tina Turner in the 1975 film release of the show. The new show coincides with the forty year anniversary of the film.

This colourful, exciting, imaginative and thought provoking new production will be enhanced by exhilarating choreography and will feature first class rock musicians. Tommy was first performed by The Who in 1968 and was conceived by Pete Townsend and Kit Lambert with contributions to its development by John Enstwhistle, Keith Moon and Roger Daltrey. This multi award winning adaptation of the original chart topping album tells a powerful tale of a deaf, mute and blind pinball player who becomes an international messiah.
