Thursday, July 17, $140 pp
Depart SCPL 4:15 p.m.; Return 11:30 p.m.
The Zach Theatre proudly presents
The Who’s legendary rock opera
Tommy
. This
extravaganza explodes on the stage with well-
remembered hit songs like “Pinball Wizard,”
“SeeMe,” and “I’mFree.” Tommy falls down the rabbit hole into
a Zach-created rock-n-roll landscape where the “deaf, dumb, and
blind” kid encounters Uncle Ernie the Mad Hatter, his mother
the White Queen, Cousin Kevin the Cheshire Cat, the Acid
Red Queen, and his doctors Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum.
This award-winning smash hit is a must-see theatrical jour-
ney where the entire theater becomes a giant pinball machine.
Prior to the performance, we will have an early dinner at Zed’s
Contemporary American Restaurant. Our meal will begin with
a house salad, followed by your entrée choice: 6 oz. sirloin steak
or grilled salmon. Sides include smashed potatoes and seasonal
vegetables, and there is luscious cheesecake for dessert. Beverages
are iced tea, soda, or coffee. Tax and tip are included.
Then we are on to the theater to enjoy the loud, vivacious rock
opera. After the performance a special treat awaits when we
participate in the Zach-sponsored special Champagne andNibbles
after-party event.
Ticket cost includes transportation, dinner, play, and after-party
event.
