CUT TO:
 
INT. TOMMY’S DRESSING ROOM – NEW YORK – NIGHT – 1984
 
Music as we follow Shannon and various Assistants escorting Tommy back to his dressing room.


Note how wholesome and clean-cut Tommy's staff is - it's almost a Breck commercial! - a complete contrast to the other backstage scenes in the film. The staff's name tags are the same as the 'suits' visiting Curt. And Shannon is wearing the quintessential 80s power suit, in red, the favorite choice of Nancy Reagan. The only sly indicator of the past: the white lilies in a vase to the left of the screen. Perhaps they were from Curt.
