Quadrophenia, the rock opera is to have a six-month tour of the UK. Just a few days ago Andy was wishing for a revival of that other Who classic Tommy. Quadrophenia should be a great live show with powerful music, Mods and Rockers and scooters
According to The Stage the production will start at the Plymouth Theatre Royal on May 11.
Quadrophenia has been adapted by Jeff Young, John O’Hara and Tom Critchley from the 1973 The Who album written by Pete Townshend, which became a film in 1979 following the success of Tommy.
The cast has yet to be announced. Quadrophenia is produced by Bill Schultz, Ina Meibach and the Theatre Royal Plymouth in association with Industrial Language Ltd.
update 11/05/2009:
Quadrophenia has now opened in Plymouth as the start of the UK Quadrophenia tour and if you’re one of the lucky people who’ve managed to get to one of the shows, whether a Who fan or not…
Well, what did you think of it?
I should see this,thanks for the information.
Would love to see the satge version of Quadrophenia, the 1979 movie was excellent.
