Let me recommend STOMP.  Blue Man Group, while very inventive, also seemed
to have a mean edge to them that put me off a bit.  STOMP does phenomenal
rhythm compositions, most with "found objects" ranging from matchbooks to
kitchen sinks -- literally -- and infuses the whole show with whimsy, good
humor, and occasionally awesome power.  I think it would appeal to a Who
fan.  In fact, if you don't like it I'll refund your (just your) ticket
price.
