It’s just a jump to the left and a step to the right to Studio 54. The Rocky Horror Show hits Broadway on March 26, and the eagerly anticipated new production marks the latest incarnation of Richard O’Brien’s irresistibly out-there, fan-favorite musical, which has been thrilling audiences since 1973.
Oh, Mary! Tony winner Sam Pinkleton puts his directorial touch-a-touch-a-touch-a-touches on this revival starring Luke Evans. He plays the fabulously fluid, fishnet-clad Dr. Frank-N-Furter, who’s creating a creature named Rocky when squeaky-clean couple Brad and Janet land at his mansion. Cue the awakenings! And earworms like “Time Warp” and “Sweet Transvestite.”
What began as a small London stage musical in 1973 has grown into a global theatre and film franchise via the 1975 film The Rocky Horror Picture Show. On stage and screen, it’s a property noted for its role in LGBTQ+ visibility, gender‑bending performance, and cult‑classic culture.
