I gather Lew mentions Roger because he thinks Roger IS The Who, and that all 
criticisms of Pete's solo work are threats that come back to that.

And no, PD doesn't need to be seen to appreciate it.  There's a show 
available on video, PETE TOWNSHEND LIVE FROM THE BROOKLYN ACADEMY, and  the 
actors made the drama more visible, but may have detracted from the music.  
In a different medium, it was a different work.

Pete's production of the dramatic play was as low key as his singing, and in 
that form, I can see why it might not fly on Broadway.  The drama isn't as 
strong as the music, although (as usual) the two work together well to carry 
Pete message.  Pete draws an audience when  he performs the music because of 
who he is, but in order to do that without Pete, the play would need 
something extra in production--something visual to keep people watching.  
This isn't a play where action would help.  One previous suggestion as to 
what might:  sex.
