Let’s do the time warp again, only this time at Studio 54.
Richard O’Brien’s The Rocky Horror Show gets the Broadway treatment this year at the legendary Studio 54 (254 West 54th Street), with a production by Roundabout Theatre Company, direction by Tony Award winner Sam Pinkleton (Oh, Mary!), and a full cast, details of which are announced today, Jan. 29.
Joining the previously-announced Luke Evans (Beauty and the Beast, High-Rise, Backstairs Billy), who makes his Broadway debut as the iconic Frank-N-Furter, is Rachel Dratch (POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive, SNL) as Narrator; Andrew Durand (Dead Outlaw, Shucked, Little Shop of Horrors) as Brad; Stephanie Hsu (Everything Everywhere All at Once, SpongeBob SquarePants: The Broadway Musical, Be More Chill) as Janet; and Amber Gray (Eureka Day; Hadestown; Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812) as Riff Raff.

The Rocky Horror Show will begin previews on Thursday, March 26, 2026, ahead of an opening on Thursday, April 23, 2026. This is a limited engagement through Sunday, June 21, 2026, producers insist.
Yes, time is fleeting for this production.
Richard O’Brien’s The Rocky Horror Show has been in continuous production around the globe for 52 years, and is recognized as the only musical to have such a remarkable longevity — despite critics delivering an early “turkey” verdict.
The show originally opened on London’s West End at the Royal Court Theatre in 1973, and has been seen by over 40 million people in 15 languages. The subsequent film, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, premiered in 1975 and is now a bonafide camp, cult classic.
Initially a box-office donut, the Jim Sharman-directed film, with its singalong soundtrack and loveable, off-the-wall characters, played by Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Meatloaf and others, found fans everywhere. To this day, it’s still playing in limited theatrical showings around the United States, making it the longest big-screen run for a film in history. A 50th anniversary vinyl edition of the beloved soundtrack hit shelves last October.
