Footlighters' Season Concludes With "Tommy" in Cinnaminson

Cinnaminson, NJ -- The 2015-16 Burlington County Footlighters' season concludes with a rock 'n roll edge when the company presents The Who's "TOMMY," weekends from May 6 - 21, 2016 at the Footlighters Playhouse in Cinnaminson.

From the Footlighters:

"TOMMY" is a Tony Award winning musical based on the iconic 1969 rock concept album by the legendary British band The Who. This exhilarating story of hope, healing, and the human spirit follows the life of a deaf, dumb and blind boy who triumphs over adversity, set to a high-energy musical score.

After witnessing the accidental murder of his mother's lover by his father, Tommy is traumatized into catatonia and, as he grows up, suffers abuse at the hands of sadistic relatives and neighbors. In adolescence, he's discovered to have an uncanny knack for playing pinball and, when his mother finally breaks through his catatonia, becomes an international superstar.
