Of course, Pinball Wizard<\/em> is his favorite number.<\/p>\n

Never mind that it\u2019s hard to keep a straight face as an absurdly-costumed cast prances around him while he compulsively plays a pinball machine. This is The Who\u2019s Tommy,<\/em> and if you\u2019re Tommy you just have to love the iconic moment in the 1969 rock opera when that kid electrifies the stage with sizzling arcade skills.<\/p>\n

\u201cPinball Wizard<\/em> is the most fun thing I\u2019ve ever done. I don\u2019t even sing in that number. I just play pinball. I keep a blank expression the whole time. But it\u2019s so hard because of the fun everyone\u2019s having around me. And everyone in that number is really, really good,\u201d says Jack Levis \u201920.<\/p>\n

But Levis is \u2013 oh, let\u2019s just say it, already \u2013 something of a wizard himself. Although just a freshman, the screen acting major from Portland, Ore., landed the lead role in the first student musical staged by the College of Performing Arts<\/a> at Chapman\u2019s new Musco Center for the Arts.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt a lot of schools, it doesn\u2019t usually happen,\u201d Levis says. \u201cI feel like the thing that\u2019s different from the other schools is that Chapman is willing to look at what you have to bring as a performer, rather than your class rank.\u201d<\/p>\n

In fact, the director didn\u2019t know he was casting a freshman, says John Benitz, associate professor and chairman of the Department of Theatre<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s really a remarkable talent. He has it all, triple threat \u2013 can sing, dance and act. What\u2019s neat is that, because our director, Oanh Nguyen, is a guest director, he doesn\u2019t know who is a freshman or senior, BFA or BA \u2013 he simply cast the best performers for the parts,\u201d Benitz says.<\/p>\n

The production is the same high-tech, rollicking version originally staged at Anaheim\u2019s Chance Theater<\/a> and remounted in 2011 at Segerstrom Center for the Arts. Even the costumes, stage design and lighting have been packed along for the production, says Nguyen, who also directed the previous shows.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s not a moment in this play that doesn\u2019t feel like a rock concert. It\u2019s going to be fun,\u201d the director says.<\/p>\n

\n

If You Go<\/h3>\n

Showtimes:<\/strong> Thursday through Saturday, Feb. 23-25, at 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, Feb. 26, at 2 p.m.<\/p>\n

Tickets:<\/strong> $15 to $25. For details, visit the box office online<\/a>, or call (714-997-6812).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The only thing different is that the cast is all Chapman students. Nguyen considers their youth an ideal fit for the story of a young man searching to find his way.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey can relate to a lot of the needs of young people in this story. If you look at someone like Sally, who\u2019s desperate to leave her suburban life and be more than Daddy\u2019s little girl, I think they can relate to that. There\u2019s the need to find where they belong or fit, or feeling like they don\u2019t fit in their world. I think they feel all that,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

For Levis, who attends Chapman with support from talent and merit scholarships, the story of the musical is new.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love the music. But it\u2019s written by a rock star, and he didn\u2019t really write for story. But Oanh has done an excellent job of taking this and fine-tuning it into something that has a very detailed-oriented story,\u201d Levis says.<\/p>\n

Which summons this reminder \u2014 to those who recall the trippy 1975 movie Tommy<\/em>, be forewarned \u2013 or grateful. The Tony-winning musical version of the rock opera is a different animal altogether.<\/p>\n
