Pete Townshend's Quadrophenia, A Rock Ballet will make its New York stage debut this fall at New York City Center, November 14-16. Based on the 1973  album recorded by The Who, the dance production comes to New York following a sold-out run at London's Sadler's Wells Theatre and a U.K. tour earlier this year.

The 1973 concept album tells the story of Jimmy, a working-class London mod (a member of the 1950s London modernist subculture) as he struggles with dead-end jobs, substance abuse, conflict with his parents, and a search for belonging.

Townsend, a Tony winner for the 1993 stage adaptation of The Who's Tommy, said in a statement: "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. In 2016 Rachel Fuller agreed to create an orchestral score of the album. When I first heard a demo of this version, without vocals, my first thought was that it would make a powerfully rhythmic and emotionally engaging ballet."

Fuller's arrangement, recorded by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, is the soundtrack for the dance production, which is directed by Rob Ashford and choreographed by Paul Roberts. Paris Fitzpatrick will dance the lead role of Jimmy. The production includes costumes by Paul Smith, sets by Christopher Oram, lighting by Fabiana Piccioli, and sound by David McEwan.
