I love Tommy, in every one of its iterations. The original album, the London Symphony Orchestra version, the movie, the Broadway show. I would attend this in a heartbeat.
There are a number of rock opera movies that get little or no critical love, but that I watch and enjoy a lot, no doubt because I met them when I was young: Jesus Christ Superstar, Tommy, Phantom of the Paradise, The Wall, but even when I was a Kid, I could tell that Xanadu and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band were a crock. Still, I wish this was a more thriving sub-genre. (guess it's time to check out Repo: the Genetic Opera.)
(Hey, I can take comfort in looking at my Tommy DVD, personally signed by Ken Russell. Okay, ducking...)
