The original choice to play the Acid Queen was David Bowie.
According to Ken Russell's DVD commentary, Elton John initially turned down the part of the Pinball Wizard; one of those seriously considered for the role was David Essex, who recorded a version of the "Pinball Wizard" at his home studio. However producer Robert Stigwood held out to get Elton John, who finally agreed to play the role on the condition that he could keep the oversized Doc Martin boots from his costume.
The stage adaption of "The Who's Tommy" opened at the St. James Theater in New York on April 22, 1993, ran for 899 performances and was nominated for the 1993 Tony Awards for the Best Musical, Book and won for Best Score.
