A reinvented version of the Who’s classic rock opera Tommy will return to Broadway in 2021.
Director Des McAnuff oversaw the 1993 production, which won five Tony Awards and gave him one of his two Best Director wins. The show was based on the stage version he co-wrote with Pete Townshend.
McAnuff said in a statement, “Our new production of Tommy will be a reinvention aimed directly at today. Tommy combines myth and spectacle in a way that truly soars. The key question with any musical is, ‘Does the story sing?’ And this one most certainly does.”
