Photo Flash: First Look at THE WHO'S TOMMY at The Falcon's Eye

The Falcon's Eye continues its ninth season with the smash hit, THE WHO'S TOMMY. Based on the iconic 1969 rock concept album, THE WHO'S TOMMY is an exhilarating story of hope, healing, and the human spirit. The story of the pinball-playing, deaf, dumb and blind boy who triumphs over his adversities has inspired, amazed, and puzzled audiences for more than 40 years. This five-time Tony Award-winning musical was translated to the stage into a high-energy, one-of-a-kind theatrical event. THE WHO'S TOMMY opens on Friday, April 15 and will continue through Saturday, April 23, 2016. BroadwayWorld has photos of the cast onstage below!

After witnessing the accidental murder of his mother's lover by his father, Tommy is traumatized into catatonia, and as the boy grows, he suffers abuse at the hands of his sadistic relatives and neighbors. As an adolescent, he's discovered to have an uncanny knack for playing pinball, and when his mother finally breaks through his catatonia, he becomes an international pinball superstar.

David Harris, who appeared in the original production of THE WHO'S TOMMY at La Jolla Playhouse in San Diego in 1992, now takes the reins as director of this original concept musical. Rounding out the artistic team is Musical Director Graham Sobleman, whose affiliations include California Musical Theatre, Capital Stage, Sacramento Theatre Company, and B Street Theatre, and Sunny Mitchell, whose affiliations include California Musical Theatre, Sacramento Ballet, CSUS, and Leighton Dance Project. THE WHO'S TOMMY features an exhilarating score that is timeless in its youthful appeal, giving the show a cross-generational appeal that has made it a smash-hit around the world.
