In 1969, The Who’s rock opera Tommy changed the trajectory of how music could be incorporated into theatrical works. Tommy put the genre of the concept album on the map, sparked a cultural phenomenon and spawned pop hits galore.
Tommy went on to achieve the rare feat of multiple successful iterations, from rock opera to opera, film to stage spectacular, legendary concept album to award winning musical theatre.
