Thanks, Carly.  I found this via the link below:

"The exhibit includes a typed letter from Townshend to Russell 
with casting suggestions. It's intriguing to imagine: what if Joni 
Mitchell or Grace Slick had played the mother instead of Ann-
Margret? Would Charles Mingus have been a better Preacher 
than Eric Clapton? Could Lou Reed have topped Tina Turner's 
raunchy Acid Queen?"
