In 1973, guitar smashing rock genius Pete Townshend wrote Quadrophenia. Recorded by legendary British rock band The Who, it quickly became an iconic and multi-million selling album. Quadrophenia defined a generation, and in 1979 inspired the cult classic feature film of the same name.

Now it’s back—this time as an explosive dance production—Quadrophenia, A Rock Ballet with a large cast of exceptional dancers, introducing new audiences to troubled mod Jimmy’s story while remaining true in spirit to the much-loved original.

Quadrophenia is steeped in the mythology of the 1960s—sharp suits, soul music, Vespas and parkas—but its themes of lost youth, rebellion, the search for belonging and hunger for social change are just as urgent today.

Choreographer Paul Roberts and Director Rob Ashford bring together some of the UK’s finest creative talent from the worlds of music, theater, film and dance. A rich, orchestral version of the album by Rachel Fuller, recorded by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, is the backdrop for this adrenaline-filled rollercoaster ride.

Prepare to be blown away, as this spectacular dance-theater production brings a whole new dimension to the raw energy and emotion of one of the most iconic rock albums.
