**** Highly Recommended **** The Goodman Theatre production of The Who’s "Tommy" is simply spectacular! There’s just no other word to describe the awesomeness of The Who’s 1969 rock opera! The voices were magnificent. In fact, when the lads sang "Pinball Wizard", I could have sworn it was the members of The Who singing. Add in the dazzling choreography and the scenic projections adding an interesting dimension, you have a smash hit show! 4 BIG Spotlights for a Rockin’ "Tommy."
