Phoenix Productions to Present The Who's Tommy

Phoenix Productions will present its revival of The Who’s Tommy at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank for a two-weekend run beginning July 15th.

Based on the iconic 1969 rock concept album by The Who, Tommy tells an exhilarating tale of hope, healing, and the human spirit. The story of the pinball-playing, deaf, dumb, and blind boy who triumphs over his adversities. Featuring the music of one of the most influential rock bands of the 20th century, Tommy has inspired, amazed, and puzzled audiences for nearly 50 years. Winning five Tony Awards and six Drama Desk awards, this show is a high – energy, one-of-a-kind theatrical event.

Featured in the cast are Jonathan Jacob as the title role of Tommy, Eric Harper and Jennifer Townsend as Captain and Mrs. Walker, Tommy’s parents, Randy Cooper as the evil Uncle Ernie, and Victoria Keiser as the brazen “Acid Queen”.

Performances will be on Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm, and Sundays at 3pm, with its run concluding on July 24th. Tickets are available at the Count Basie Theatre Box Office and can be purchased in person at 99 Monmouth Street, Red Bank, N.J, by phone at 732-842-9000, or online at www.countbasietheatre.org .
