Broadway Jukebox: Broadway's Best Rock Musicals

The volume was turned up on 41st Street earlier this week when The Who's Tommy returned to Broadway after more than three decades. Myth and spectacle combine in The Who’s exhilarating 1969 rock opera. If this season's newest arrival has you craving some more head-banging, adrenaline-pumping rock anthems, you're in luck! BroadwayWorld has pulled together 75 of our favorite rock songs from the musical theatre canon.
