Most of you probably remember that back in 2019 a modernized revival of The Who's Tommy was announced for 2021. Obviously, it never happened.

However, now they are doing some 30th anniversary production in Chicago this June. - Is that the same production that was announced back in 2019? Is there still a hope...or even plan...to bring it to Broadway?

yes I believe this production (which is also being directed by Des) is the one that is being aimed for Broadway by the Dodgers, if that ever actually happens.

It auditioned late last year.  It's cast.

Starts in Chicago at the Goodman June 13.  https://www.goodmantheatre.org/show/the-whos-tommy/

Excited to see it but I’ve been disappointed with most Des shows!

The original was fantastic, hope they don't ruined it in the new production.
