As much as I adore The Who and Quadrophenia I have little time for these orchestral reworkings... Alfie Boe singing Love Reign O'er Me is hard to erase from memory...
So I didn't have high hopes for this. In fact I thought the whole thing seemed a bit ridiculous. Until I saw the trailer the other day and it actually looks to be very impressive. The brief snippets of the score sound utterly majestic.
A comment from someone who's already seen it advises it's about as authentic a ballet as Tommy is an opera, so make of that what you will!
