Phil, 66, said: 'Here's Leslie and me not quite pirouetting at the Quadrophenia Mod Ballet.'
With a soundtrack by The Who 's Pete Townshend and performances by Sting and Toyah Wilcox, the film quickly became a cult classic.
And the dance production, which was launched at London's Sadler's Wells Theatre this week, looks set to do the same.
After the premiere, Phil described the ballet as 'a high-brow, high-octane re-imagining'.
He called the young cast 'fantastic' and said the production was on the way to becoming 'another cult classic'.
Phil, 66, and Leslie, 65, or Phil, 66, starred in the movie set in London and Brighton about a young Mod who liked scooters, drugs, fights... and romance.
Sting and Toyah Wilcox were also among the original cast.
He and Leslie, 65, also joined by Spice Girls Emma Bunton and Mel C.
