The Who's Tommy was based on the concept album "Tommy" by the British rock group The Who. The story centers on an alienated, abused child who, despite having lost his sight, speech and hearing at an early age, becomes a pinball wizard and youth culture icon. The Who's Pete Townshend adapted the work for the stage with director Des McAnuff.
