The Who‘s iconic rock opera “Quadrophenia” is set to make its debut as a dance production in the U.K.
Sadler’s Wells and Universal Music U.K. have unveiled the world premiere of “Quadrophenia, a Mod Ballet,” ahead of a 2025 tour.
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.
