Have you ever wanted to see and hear Pete Townshend’s rock opera TOMMY, by The Who, brought to life on stage? Here finally is your chance!
Rumoured Productions presentation features a brilliant five piece band, accompanying four of the best singers Adelaide has to offer, namely Michael Bates, Lindsay Prodea, Melanie Smith & Heidi-Rae Abbey. This show has an active lighting design, complete with rear projections to complete the concert experience. A true spectacular event, worthy of such an iconic rock opera.
You’ll hear about Captain & Mrs Walker, and you’ll go on an Amazing Journey. The Hawker will introduce you to the Acid Queen. Then there’s the Pinball Wizard, the Doctor, Uncle Ernie, Cousin Kevin, Sally Simpson, all the great songs from TOMMY, live on stage.
Whilst the concert is guaranteed to be a lot of fun, the work also has a very serious side. We hear about Tommy Walker’s abuse & neglect at the hands of family & friends, and his road to recovery, something that is extremely important & relevant in today’s world.
TOMMY the Rock Opera does not celebrate abuse, it exists to remind us of the harm that can befall us all, if we forget how to love each other.
TOMMY the Rock Opera in Concert is playing at the Hopgood Theatre, Noarlunga, Friday July 10, The Shedley Theatre, Elizabeth, Thursday July 23, & the Arts Theatre, Adelaide, Saturday Aug 22.
