Broadway Revival Of ‘The Who’s Tommy’ Will Close After Four Months

A recent Broadway revival of The Who’s Tommy is set to close after a short run of only four months. The Who’s Tommy is a musical theater adaptation of the Who‘s celebrated 1969 rock opera album, Tommy. The production originally opened on Broadway in 1993, and it proved to be an immediate hit and ran for over two years. Original diretor Des McAnuff was brought back for a revival of the successful musical when it opened in Chicago in 2023. The production eventually returned to Broadway this spring, opening at the Nederlander Theater this spring. The Who’s Pete Townshend, who wrote the musical’s score and co-wrote the book, praised the recent revival, even going so far as performing with the show’s cast on The Tonight Show. But that apparently couldn’t keep the show’s momentum going. The Who’s Tommy will have its final Broadway performance 7/21. (New York Times)
