Berkshire Fest Has Chamberlain, Schwartz, New Looks at 'Assassins, The Who's 
Tommy'


In the smaller Unicorn Theatre, the Tony-winning The Who's Tommy will get a 
new look a decade after its success on Broadway. The Who's "rock opera" 
album-about a catatonic boy who survives an abusive, loveless childhood to 
become a pinball-playing, guru-like celebrity-was adapted by the Who's Pete 
Townshend and director Des McAnuff into a stage musical. It ran for more 
than two years on Broadway and won Tonys for McAnuff's direction and 
Townsend's score, in a tie with Kander and Ebb's Kiss of the Spider Woman. 
The show has also become famous for the number of its many young cast 
members who went on to greater stage fame, including Michael Cerveris 
(Titanic, Hedwig and the Angry Inch), Romain Fruge (The Full Monty), Norm 
Lewis (Side Show, Amour), Alice Ripley (Side Show, The Rocky Horror Show), 
Jonathan Dokuchitz (The Boys from Syracuse, The Look of Love) and Michael 
McElroy (Violet, The Wild Party). Jared Coseglia will direct the new 
production, which runs July 16-Aug. 2.
