The Who’s Tommy - 3 Fun Facts
No wonder TOMMY became a stage musical — from the start, Townshend said he wanted to be sure the songs would sound just as good live as on the recorded album. This stood in contrast to other then-popular bands like The Beatles and The Beach Boys, some of whose recordings weren't designed for live performance.
The 2024 production incorporates a lot of yellow in the design, as yellow was Tommy's signature color in the original Broadway production. (Our Favorite Color Too!)
Rock opera, emphasis on the opera: The Who went on a two-year international tour to promote the TOMMY album, and one of the stops was the Metropolitan Opera House.
