The Who's Tommy

Luke Lucas ?was commissioned by Serino Coyne for a very exciting project: creating the key art for the return of the musical “The Who’s Tommy”. Originally opened in 1992 and coming to Chicago’s Goodman Theatre this summer, the production reinvents The Who’s 1969 rock opera concept album, “Tommy”. Luke's 3D artwork really smashes the mirror.
