When the casting was announced for the Broadway revival of The Rocky Horror Show, I definitely thought I was being pranked. How could so many fabulous performers all have signed on to the same production of one of my favorite musicals of all time? (Spoiler: It was not a prank.)
SNL legend Rachel Dratch, Fast & Furious villain Luke Evans, comedic genius Juliette Lewis, breakout Pose star MJ Rodriguez, Oscar nominee Stephanie Hsu, Broadway icon Amber Gray... My excitement was at peak levels.
Richard O'Brien's The Rocky Horror Show has always been an incredible musical. Thanks to numerous stage iterations and the cult classic film (which stars Tim Curry), the story and the songs have transcended time (and space?), making it a staple in the hearts of serious musical theater fans.
With such a history and such a stacked cast, my expectations were as high as my excitement levels—and, fortunately, the new Broadway production delivers in a big way.
