SWANAGE’S Mowlem Theatre will be celebrating 50 years of one of Britain’s most innovative bands - The Who.

The show, Sensation, includes hits from The Who, including songs from both Tommy and Quadrophenia.

An event spokesman said: “If you want to be taken on an amazing musical journey by fantastic singers and a rocking, live band with the maximum rhythm and blues factor, then this is definitely the night for you.

“These kids are definitely alright. From ‘My Generation’ to ‘Be Lucky’ via the rock opera hits including ‘Pinball Wizard’ and ‘The Real Me’, this show promises a night of non-stop hits from one of the most influential bands of all time.”

The producers behind the Mowlem show are from the five star London production of Tommy.

Meanwhile, the seven-strong cast of singers and musicians have performed with Ray Davies, Edwin Starr, Iron Maiden, PJ Proby, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Shaun Ryder & the Seahorses as well as in a string of West End shows including Buddy, War of the Worlds and We Will Rock You.
