The Who’s classic rock opera, Tommy, has been staged multiple times since its creation in 1969. Can there possibly be any way to present it in a new light?
There is. And choreographer/director Marcus S. Daniel finds it.
When Tommy opens tomorrow night, October 6th at 8:00 at the La Habra Depot Theatre, it’ll have high-energy dance numbers, all the hit rock songs–and an element that’s rarely seen in most musical-theatre productions.
Marcus talks about his interpretation of Tommy, the challenges in staging his production, and his plans to bring his cast to Pasadena City College on Sunday, October 14th for the San Gabriel Valley Pride Festival! We don’t have the actual time yet, but Pride starts at 11:00 that day, on the PCC quad. Look for Marcus and his “family” of actors on the main stage!
