CLASSIC musical Tommy roars into the Birmingham Hippodrome to rock the second city for ten tuneful days from today.

Hot-property actor Jonathon Wilkes, who has enjoyed success in the Rocky Horror Show, Godspell and Grease, takes centre stage as the deaf, dumb and blind kid who becomes a pinball wizard.

Based on British rock band The Who's mould breaking 1969 concept album, the show is packed with classic songs such as Pinball Wizard, See Me, Feel Me and I'm Free.
