Chicago – The Opening Night ovation certainly acknowledged that the audience “Saw, Felt, was Touched and Healed” by the passionate and celebratory performance of “The Who’s Tommy.” Adapted from the iconic rock opera created by The Who in 1969, the Goodman Theater revival … with 1990s origins … was written by Pete Townsend and Des McAnuff (also director).
The adaptation was maniacally choreographed and thoughtfully presented, with an amazing looking stage design, and lead actor Ali Louis Bourzgui delivered a heroic rendering of the conflicted title boy who turns off his life, only to revive it through a literal breakthrough. The Goodman Theatre run, which will go to Broadway, has been extended to August 6th, 2023. For ticket info and more, click Tommy.
Play Rating: 4.5/5.0
The story is rooted in the British World War II, as Tommy’s eventual father Captain Walker (Adam Jacobs) meets and marries his mother (Allison Luff) during the conflict, but is captured by the Germans.
