Director Des McAnuff's reimagined 'Tommy' musical by The Who returns to Broadway, 30 years after its premiere.
Director Des McAnuff's reimagined version of The Who's 'Tommy' returns to Broadway, 30 years after its premiere, with McAnuff and Pete Townshend realizing the world has "caught up" to the story's themes. The original production, based on The Who's 1969 album and 1975 film, opened on Broadway in 1993 and won five Tony Awards, including Best Direction for McAnuff and Best Original Score for Townshend. McAnuff says that the idea to bring the musical back was sparked by working on a movie version of the musical with Townshend.
