Get ready for a Broadway spectacle like no other! The legendary Rocky Horror Show is back, and this time, it's bringing a star-studded cast that will leave you breathless. But here's where it gets controversial: can this iconic production live up to its cult status with a new generation of theatergoers? Roundabout Theatre Company has just unveiled the full cast for Richard O’Brien’s timeless musical, directed by the Tony Award-winning Sam Pinkleton. And this is the part most people miss: the show’s enduring appeal lies not just in its music, but in its bold celebration of individuality and self-expression.
Leading the charge is the British Independent Film Award nominee Luke Evans as the enigmatic Frank-N-Furter, making his Broadway debut. Joining him is a powerhouse ensemble, including Tony Award nominee Rachel Dratch as the Narrator, Andrew Durand as Brad, and Amber Gray as Riff Raff. Harvey Guillén, Stephanie Hsu, Juliette Lewis, Josh Rivera, and Michaela Jaé Rodriguez round out the principal cast, each bringing their unique flair to this beloved story.
Rachel Dratch, known for her hilarious stints on SNL and POTUS, takes on the role of the Narrator, while Andrew Durand, fresh off his Tony-nominated performance in Shucked, plays the strait-laced Brad. Amber Gray, a Tony nominee for Hadestown, steps into the role of Riff Raff, adding her signature intensity to the character. Harvey Guillén, beloved for his role in What We Do in the Shadows, makes his Broadway debut as Eddie/Dr. Scott, showcasing his versatility as both an actor and voice artist.
Stephanie Hsu, an Academy Award nominee for Everything Everywhere All at Once, brings her magnetic presence to Janet, while Juliette Lewis, an Oscar nominee for Cape Fear, takes on Magenta, marking her return to Broadway. Josh Rivera, a rising star from West Side Story and The Hunger Games, plays Rocky, and Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, a Golden Globe winner for Pose, shines as Columbia, making her Broadway debut.
But the talent doesn’t stop there. The cast also includes Renée Albulario, Anania, Boy Radio, Caleb Quezon, Andres Quintero, Larkin Reilly, Paul Soileau, and John Yi, each bringing their unique energy to this electrifying production.
