The Who’s ‘Quadrophenia’ Gets Mod Ballet Makeover: ‘It’s Going to Be Poignant, Tender, Poetic and Epic’


The Who's iconic rock opera 'Quadrophenia' is set to make its debut as a dance production.

The production will feature a cast of dancers bringing to life the story of Jimmy, a troubled mod, originally conceived by The Who’s Pete Townshend in 1973. The ballet aims to introduce new audiences to the narrative while staying true to the spirit of the original multi-million selling album and subsequent 1979 cult classic film. The ballet is set to tour Plymouth, Edinburgh and Southampton before its official opening at Sadler’s Wells Theatre in London on June 24 next year.
