Pete sharing some thoughts about the Quad Mod Ballet.
Alot of this echoed some of my own thoughts and feelings about seeing the opening night in May last year and the video I made about it . So I decided to collate this footage as I found it rather interesting.

In 1973, Pete Townshend wrote Quadrophenia, an album that went on sell millions of copies worldwide and quickly became a Who fan favourite. Quadrophenia went on to define a generation and in 1979 inspired the cult classic feature film of the same name.
Returning in 2025, the album was, for the first time, a dance production! Quadrophenia, A Mod Ballet features a large cast of exceptional dancers, introducing new audiences to troubled mod Jimmy’s story while remaining true in spirit to the much-loved original.
A rich, orchestral version of the album by Rachel Fuller, first heard in concert version at The Royal Albert Hall and recorded by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra is the backdrop for this adrenaline filled roller-coaster ride.
Choreographer Paul Roberts and Director Rob Ashford brought together some of the UK’s finest creative talent from the worlds of music, theatre, film and dance. With original costumes by renowned British fashion house Paul Smith and Natalie Pryce, projection by Nick Hillel and lighting design by Fabiana Piccioli.
