Magic Bus - The WHO Tribute Band!
Friday June 30th at 7:30PM

The Who, one of rock’s most iconic bands, made the charts in 1964 with their hit song, “Can’t Explain.” That was the beginning of their amazing journey. Still performing more than 50 years later, The Who can be heard in commercials, television theme songs and on the radio.
Magic Bus, a tribute band based in Portland, ME, captures the sound and feel of The Who. We’ll take you on a tour of the rock band’s discography, covering songs from “My Generation” to “Who Are You.” We also perform select songs from the rock operas “Tommy” and “Quadrophenia.”

It premiered at the Portland Stage Company in Portland, Maine, where it broke box office records and garnered critical acclaim.  John Cariani released a new novel based on the play in 2022!  The warmth and humor of the Mainers that populate this story are truly extraordinary. Come enjoy in Maine's Most Enchanting Playhouse!

DO YOU WANT TO HEAR BEAUTIFUL AND TECHNICALLY BRILLIANT PIANO MUSIC? AND IN BETWEEN THE PIECES DO YOU WANT TO LAUGH YOURSELF SILLY?"
