Seattle Escorts: Burien Little Theatre rocks out with ‘The Who’s Tommy’
Mrs. Walker’s lover is eventually murdered; a traumatic event that begins Tommy’s downward spiral into a harrowing psychological freeze where he is struck “deaf, dumb and blind.” When Capt. Walker is tried for murder and is found not guilty on grounds of self-defense, Tommy’s lack of emotion at the trial signals the young boy has officially sunk into his own remote inner world.
“The Who’s Tommy” is told through the eyes of older Tommy (Bobby Barnts), whose strong vocals electrifies the stage whenever he is present. Isolated from society, Tommy’s parents take him to numerous doctor visits to discover what is wrong with him. Everyone around him eventually gives up when nothing seems to work.
Along the way Tommy is victim to several unfortunate encounters with his creepy drunken Uncle Ernie (Russ Kay), his sadistic cousin Kevin (Jason Pead) and a hippie prostitute named Acid Queen (Michelle Flowers).
