The Who's Tommy, the Tony-nominated revival of 1993's smash hit, opened on Broadway this spring with lighting from Amanda Zieve, sets by David Korins, projection design by Peter Negrini, sound by Gareth Owen and costumes by Sarafina Bush.
Zieve designed the original version of this production for the Goodman Theatre in Chicago, then refined and updated the design for Broadway's Nederlander Theatre. To find out more about her work on this project read: Creating A Sensation: Amanda Zieve Lights The Who’s Tommy On Broadway.
