The Who- Broadway or Bust!

I just came back from seeing The Who at the Garden.
I have never seen them live and it was a fantastic show.
They are still incredible.
This really made me want to see Tommy on Broadway.
I hope they bring back Tommy and cast Cerveris!

They sang Pinball Wizard and many others from Tommy!

Cool! I love The Who, and I'm seeing them in November. I'm so glad they're doing Tommy songs; those songs are the songs that got me hooked on the band!

I only had one petition. To put Harvey in the Hairspray film.
But, I am over it.
PS Roger Daltry has sexy arms.

Blueroses,
After seeing Cerveris at the Rocker benefit, no.
He is incredible. Age is just a number. He just needs a good wig.

The voice is there!

I don't see it happening anytime soon, but the original production was just amazing. I spent a good chunk of my teenage years obsessing over the show and buying every piece of junk with the show's logo on it -- still have most of it in a closet somewhere.

For those who love Tommy and haven't had a chance to see The Who perform it live, there's a great concert video of them performing the entire thing with an orchestra and a few guest stars (Billy Idol as Cousin Kevin, Phil Collins as Uncle Ernie, Patti LaBelle as the Acid Queen, and Elton John doing Pinball Wizard).

What I'd rather see than a Tommy revival is the stuff Pete Townsend aluded to in the Tommy coffee table book -- where he felt he had found a new home as a writer and hoped to write something new for Broadway.
The Who Live: Featuring the Rock Opera TOMMY

They did portions of Wire & Glass last night at MSG and it was AMAZING! It was the first time I saw The Who in concert and it was truly an incredible show.

I'd love to see them; my university is doing Tommy next semester and I'm stoked!!

Cheers,

Christopher
