"I'm giddy to crack this untamable classic open with the razor-sharp Luke Evans at the center. And I hope to do at Studio 54 what The Rocky Horror Show has done for people around the world for decades - open a dimension to another possible reality."
"It seriously is the honor of a lifetime to bring the freakiest people I've ever met into the freakiest theatre I've ever been in to revisit the freakiest show there's ever been."
"I did think it was risky and indeed it was. But I like risky. I would choose risky over anything. That's the best way to be."
Luke Evans will make his Broadway debut as Dr Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show in early 2026. Previews begin 26 March 2026 at Studio 54, with opening night set for 23 April. The revival is produced by Roundabout Theatre Company and directed by Tony-Award winner Sam Pinkleton. Tickets went on sale 31 October. Evans has a background in West End musicals including Taboo, Rent, and Miss Saigon and played Gaston in the live-action Beauty and the Beast. Rocky Horror debuted onstage in 1973 and the film released in 1975, with Tim Curry originally playing Dr. Frank-N-Furter.
