The Goodman Theatre’s critically acclaimed production of “The Who’s Tommy” is heading to Broadway, it was announced Thursday.
The musical, based on Pete Townshend’s 1969 seminal rock opera double-album, enjoyed an eight-week, sold-out run in a “re-imagined” world premiere production directed by Des McAnuff earlier this year in Chicago, with music and lyrics by Townshend and a book by Townshend and McAnuff. ‘Tommy’ became the highest-grossing show in the history of the Goodman.
