I'm a huge fan of Alan Cumming as well - but alas, it did not work. I don't blame Cumming, I blame the direction and staging. It was just a bad production all around. Also, it didn't help that it was in Studio 54 - so we were high up. Oddly that was worked fine with Cabaret - which I also saw in Studio 54, but Three Penny Opera not so much. I remember being annoyed at the time. Staging can be everything.
If memory serves I think Daltry may be about 5'7? (Looked it up - he's 5'6, so I had him an inch taller in my head - he has that sort of charisma or stage presence? Some people have that - they kind of overwhelm you when you see them. Davy Jones did - saw him in person for another Marketing DVD Release Party - and he was 4 foot something. Musicians and actors are tiny. So too are stages and film sets, apparently.)
