"Joe McElderry will appear in The Who&amp;#039;s rock opera in London&amp;#039;s West End next month. The singer has signed up to appear in Tommy at the Prince Edward Theatre on Old Compton Street for a one-off appearance on November 12.  The musical, penned by The Who frontman Pete Townshend, has ticket prices ranging from \u00C2\u00A315 to \u00C2\u00A365. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m very excited to make my West End debut in the iconic rock opera Tommy,&amp;quot; McElderry said. &amp;quot;I have been waiting for a role that would challenge both my acting and singing skills, this has both. &amp;quot;I am a big fan of The Who and it is incredible that Pete Townshend wrote this piece when he was 21, the same age as me.&amp;quot;  McElderry recently reached number eight on the UK album chart with his latest record Here&amp;#039;s What I Believe, which was released last month.
