The Who star Pete Townshend has said a new Quadrophenia “Mod ballet” will be “poignant, tender and poetic and epic”.
Townshend said: “Quadrophenia is the only Who album that I solely composed and produced and the movie that followed in 1979 launched the careers of some of the finest young actors of the time. “The themes of young people growing up in difficult times are still so relevant. It’s going to be poignant, tender and poetic and epic.”Sir Alistair Spalding, artistic director and co-CEO of Sadler’s Wells, added: “It’s an honour for Sadler’s Wells to be a collaborator and lead producer of this unique production.
The ballet, choreographed by Paul Roberts and directed by Rob Ashford, will have costumes by British fashion house Paul Smith and Natalie Pryce and will star Paris Fitzpatrick as Jimmy.Fitzpatrick recently won the outstanding male modern performance prize for his turn as Romeo in New Adventures’ production of Romeo And Juliet at the National Dance Awards.
“Our only conditions for this project were artistic and creative excellence, which each partner has delivered in abundance.
