The Who's "Tommy" (pt. 8) - Eyesight to the Blind

Eyesight to the Blind

Performed by the Avondale Theatre Company. July 16-18, 2009. The production was put together in three weeks of building and rehearsals at Avondale High School in Auburn Hills, Michigan. The cast and crew was made up of current high school students, alumni going all the way back to the class of 1991, younger kids in the school district, and three teachers.

I (the music director and guitarist) dedicate this performance to diehard fans like me who agree with Roger Daltrey about the Broadway version's orchestrations sounding too watered down and not enough like The Who.
