The idea that a young man would become "deaf, dumb, and blind" and then discover that he's a pinball genius was pretty far-out when the Who released their iconic concept album Tommy in 1969. But now it's become a great excuse for high-tech stagecraft and exuberant performances. A new production puts Bose headphones in every seat — they not only amplify the music beyond the theater's acoustic capabilities, but also take audiences deep inside the ecstatic protagonist's mindset. The headphones bring viewers one step closer to Tommy's exhortation, "See me, feel me, touch me, heal me."
