Your senses will never be the same.

Segerstrom Center is back at The Frida Cinema to present a screening of Ken Russell’s Tommy, the 1975 blockbuster musical adapted from British rock legends The Who!

After witnessing a traumatic act of violence as a child, young Tommy Walker becomes deaf, dumb, and blind, retreating into an internal world that leaves him seemingly unreachable. But when he discovers an extraordinary gift for pinball, Tommy becomes an unlikely sensation, attracting devoted followers and setting the stage for a bizarre journey.

Featuring an incredible cast including Roger Daltrey, Ann-Margret, Oliver Reed, Elton John, Tina Turner, Eric Clapton, and Jack Nicholson, Tommy is a full-throttle cinematic experience unlike almost anything else in the rock-musical canon. The film earned multiple Academy Award nominations, including a Best Actress nod for Ann-Margret, and remains one of the most audacious musical experiments of the 1970s.

And after you watch the movie at The Frida…go see the stage play at Segerstrom!

“Thunderous and thoroughly intoxicating!” – The Wall Street Journal

“See it. Feel it. You won’t forget it.” – Entertainment Weekly

In 1969, The Who created a rock opera that changed the course of music history. And now, it’s back in a dazzling all-new production that feels more relevant than ever.

Myth and spectacle combine in this fresh reinvention that includes the unforgettable anthems “I’m Free,” “See Me, Feel Me,” “Sensation” and “Pinball Wizard.” After witnessing his father shoot his rival, the young Tommy Walker is lost in the universe, endlessly and obsessively staring into the mirror. An innate knack for pinball catapults him from reticent adolescent to celebrity savior. Tony Award-winning composer Pete Townshend and Tony Award-winning original director Des McAnuff find powerful resonance reexamining this classic story for today.
