Great Transition To Stage

Being a fan of The Who's 1969 concept album, "Tommy", I couldn't wait to see the transition to Broadway. I did ... twice in fact.

"Tommy", one of the original rock operas, works splendidly on stage and its score sounds terrific on cd. The marvelous cast, led by Michael Cerveris, handles the Who classic well.

Best Tracks:

Overture
Amazing Journey
Sensation
Pinball Wizard
I'm Free
We're Not Gonna Take It
See Me, Feel Me / Listening To You

Classic Rock meets Broadway!

Wasn't expecting this great recording!

Stopped at Borders today for a shopping spree to treat myself to three musicals. TOMMY was one. The Who never thrilled me. Rock music was never my favorite. But this story has always been a favorite of mine, so I decided to give it a try. The music is a sensation! The music is a blast, the story is wonderful, the singing is incredible!
Loved it, loved it and loved it!
If you don't like loud music, some of the songs on TOMMY aren't for you as some of them weren't for me. But, boy!, does this show play a mean pinball, err, have its moments. :)

MUCH ADO

If you can imagine The Who's "Tommy" as performed by a Broadway musical cast, well then there's no surprises here. The Who's original "Tommy" album was a success due to it's innovative music but it's very thin storyline and simple themes of worldly gain and loss glare akwardly in this original Broadway cast recording. Peter Townsend's original work compared itself to traditional opera in that it's story was secondary, indeed only a backdrop to the music, but Broadway takies it oh so seriously with nary a drop of humility and restraint. It amounts to the sound of a loud parade passing by, in tune but colorless. For a better transition, see Ken Russell's 1975 film, "Tommy".
