<P> As time passes , Nora and Frank make several fruitless attempts to bring the now older Tommy ( Roger Daltrey ) out of his state , including a Preacher ( Eric Clapton ) and his Marilyn Monroe - worshipping cult ( `` Eyesight to the Blind '' ) and a deceitful LSD serving cocotte and self - proclaimed `` Acid Queen '' ( Tina Turner ) , while also leaving him to be tormented by babysitters such as Tommy 's bullying `` Cousin Kevin '' ( Paul Nicholas ) , and his perverted `` Uncle '' Ernie ( Keith Moon ) ( `` Fiddle About '' ) both of whom abuse him , but Tommy refuses to respond . Nora and Frank begin to become more and more lethargic and leave Tommy standing at the mirror one night , allowing him to wander off . He follows a vision of himself out of the house and to a junkyard pinball machine . Tommy is recognised by Nora , Frank , and the media as a pinball prodigy , which is made even more impressive with his catatonic state . During a championship game , Tommy faces the `` Pinball Wizard '' ( Elton John ) with the Who as the champion 's backing band . Nora watches her son 's televised victory and celebrates his ( and her ) success ( `` Champagne '' ) , but soon has a nervous breakdown upon thinking about the real extremes of Tommy 's condition . </P>
