'Wow! It's been a wonderful opening weekend for The Who's Tommy" at Segerstrom Center for the Arts! We've gotten good reviews, and the show has sold out its entire run!

The latest review comes from the Los Angeles Times, which states, "this latest incarnation has a street-chic infectiousness that's more fun to watch than bigger, more 'produced' versions."

Thank you to everyone who has supported the show from the beginning, and to our new fans!
