The Rocky Horror Show Broadway Tickets | The Official NY Theatre Guide

A musical theatre classic, *The Rocky Horror Show* follows an engaged couple who get lost on the road before happening upon a mansion. Inside, a colorful cast of characters greet them to unleash their dreams and desires.

Every theatre kid has a list of favorite musicals they wouldn’t miss a revival of, and [*The Rocky Horror Show*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/43905-the-rocky-horror-show-on-broadway) has got to be at the top of a lot of those lists. With over 50 years of performance history and the ultimate cult classic movie adaptation to contend with, however, it can be hard for revivals to set themselves apart. Enter Sam Pinkleton, the Tony Award-winning director of genre-buster [*Oh, Mary!*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/37743-oh-mary), and a star-studded cast with talent even bigger than their resumes. 

No *Rocky Horror Show* can get off the ground without a good Brad and Janet, the hilariously milquetoast couple planning the rest of their lives together when they stumble on the grounds of a creepy castle in the middle of nowhere. And in [Andrew Durand](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/andrew-durand) and [Stephanie Hsu](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/stephanie-hsu), this production has found the Brad and Janet of a new generation. They nail their simpering 1950s personas in the show’s first act, and audiences familiar with either of their careers can antici...pate just how weird both of them are willing to get.

Hsu has a pitch-perfect range of breathy to brassy, and Durand’s sweet demeanor and even sweeter voice give us a Brad who is more of a well-intentioned fool than a pandering asshole (though it doesn’t stop the audience from calling him out at every opportunity).  

But the heart of the show is Dr. Frank-N-Furter, the lovelorn mad scientist and cross-dressing doomed diva who pulls Brad and Janet into his orbit. And from the moment [Luke Evans](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/luke-evans) makes his grand entrance, it's clear he was born for the role. His sonorous voice dominates the theatre even more fiercely than his leather corset, and he delivers Frank’s mercurial temperament with a tricky combination of scary and sexy.

But for all of Frank’s sadistic and hedonistic tendencies, Evans is also a Frank-N-Furter you’re ready to weep for by the time he pulls off his wig. In Pinkleton’s production, there is a vulnerability to this magnificently selfish character that can’t help but bring *Oh, Mary!*’s Mary Todd Lincoln to mind. 

There is no shortage of lush performances and lavish production design. The costumes (David I. Reynoso) and makeup (Sterling Tull) pay homage to the movie while maintaining their own creativity inspired by the performers. Supporting performers like [Michaela Jaé Rodriguez](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/michaela-jae-rodriguez) (as Columbia), [Harvey Guillén](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/harvey-guillen) (doubling as Eddie and Dr. Scott), and [Josh Rivera](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/josh-rivera) (as Rocky) round out a strong cast, and each have their moments to shine. There are almost too many places to look. Focus too much on Frank’s radiant petulance and you might miss Janet’s come-hither exchanges with Rocky, Brad’s resentful glares, or Riff Raff (a spectacularly creepy [Amber Gray](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/amber-gray)) and Magenta’s (a fittingly deadpan [Juliette Lewis](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/juliette-lewis)) conspiratorial glances.

The scenic design collective dots has created castle sets that are unapologetically lavish, especially the campy, overstuffed stairway entrance hall where “The Time Warp” is performed. But as the show goes on, the sets become simpler and simpler until the final scenes are on a bare-bones stage. Like Dr. Frank-N-Furter, the layers of the castle itself are stripped away to reveal the vulnerability beneath. And before too long, the dream comes to a close. There’s no other way to describe it but to say... it’s astounding.

![4 rocky horror-1200x600-NYTG](//images.ctfassets.net/6pezt69ih962/q0STXWP18qjr4ITvd15N4/9211a63612eab8e7d57abbfa2b64bdfd/4_rocky_horror-1200x600-NYTG.png)

## *The Rocky Horror Show* summary

Straitlaced couple Brad and Janet, fresh from a friend’s wedding and their own saccharine engagement, end up stranded in the middle of nowhere on a dark and stormy night. They are forced to approach a nearby castle for help, where they meet the mad scientist Dr. Frank-N-Furter. Frank’s hedonistic ways and the castle’s otherworldly tenants set Brad and Janet on a bizarre, eye-opening, raunchy journey they never could have imagined.

When writer Richard O’Brien began envisioning *The Rocky Horror Show* in the 1970s, it was a celebratory parody of 1950s sci-fi and B-horror movies. And it certainly is. But what the show became, even more so, is a celebration of queerness, counterculture, and glam rock.

## What to expect at *The Rocky Horror Show*

For the uninitiated — and *Rocky Horror* is a cultural experience deserving of initiation — perhaps the biggest disclaimer is the audience callouts. They’re an integral part of *Rocky Horror*’s history: Almost immediately after the release of *The Rocky Horror Picture Show*, the iconic 1975 movie adaptation of the stage musical, it developed a cult following unlike any seen before (or possibly since). Audiences began talking back to the screen at midnight showings of the movie, and what began as a gag eventually became more or less a time-honored script. 

For many fans, the experience is incomplete without these callouts. Of course, there’s a huge difference between yelling at a screen with an audience of willing participants and yelling at actors on a stage among Broadway theatregoers, and the production itself asks attendees to "choose your call-outs carefully."

But the cast of Pinkleton’s *Rocky Horror Show* seem to have reached a comfortable, if sometimes resigned, stride with them. [Rachel Dratch](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/rachel-dratch), as the Narrator, leaves ample space for them and freely breaks the fourth wall without ever losing that matter-of-fact affectation so characteristic of her comedic style (and so perfect for the role). Hsu steps hard on the innuendo gas as Janet, often beating the audience to their own jokes. Every time they call Janet a “slut”, her affronted, caught-in-the-act expression betrays the sexual awakening brewing beneath her prim surface.

![8 rocky horror-1200x600-NYTG](//images.ctfassets.net/6pezt69ih962/2wPlMd5QStM4dzYOgq0Itw/b8c22534ca332bcc371ba169cd64e64c/8_rocky_horror-1200x600-NYTG.png)

## What audiences are saying about *The Rocky Horror Show*

As of publication, *The Rocky Horror Show* has a 90% audience approval rating on Show-Score, averaged from 232 total reviews from theatregoers. Audiences especially praised Luke Evans’ leading performance as Dr. Frank-N-Furter and the cast as a whole.

## Who should see *The Rocky Horror Show*

- Fans of the 1975 movie adaptation *The Rocky Horror Picture Show* will want to see this revival of the original musical. 
- Theatregoers who loved Sam Pinkleton’s direction of *Oh, Mary!* will delight in the raunchy flair he adds to this already most irreverent of musicals, but also appreciate the vulnerability he affords the characters.
- Fans of unapologetically queer Broadway shows, from *Hedwig and the Angry Inch* to the current hit *Cats: The Jellicle Ball*, won’t want to miss this cult classic that has been a staple of LGBTQ+ culture for more than 50 years.

Jason F. Sellards (aka Jake Shears) was born on October 3, 1978 in Mesa, Arizona. He grew up in San Juan Island, Washington, attending&nbsp;Friday Harbor High School. Shears moved to Seattle, Washington, at the age of 18 and completed high school at&nbsp;The Northwest School. He then attended Occidental College in Los Angeles for a year&nbsp;before moving to New York City.

He initially studied fiction writing at the Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts and wrote articles and music reviews for magazines such as Paper and HX on the side. He also worked as an exotic dancer during his early years in New York.

Shears is best known as the lead male singer of the popular music group&nbsp;Scissor Sisters. The band consists&nbsp;of Shears, Ana Matronic, Babydaddy, Del Marquis, and Randy Real, with the latter replacing original member Paddy Boom as drummer. Shears and Scott Hoffman (aka Babydaddy) originally founded&nbsp;Scissor Sisters&nbsp;in 2001, but their first big breakthrough&nbsp;came in 2004 in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Their debut self-titled studio album hit the top of the charts in both regions and became the biggest-selling album of the year. Their next two studio albums (Ta-Dah&nbsp;in 2006 and Night Work&nbsp;in 2010) both reached the top 20 in the U.S. Billboard charts and their next album, Magic Hour,&nbsp;was released in 2012.&nbsp;Some of&nbsp;Scissor Sisters' biggest hits include "Filthy/Gorgeous," "Fire with Fire," "Only the Horses," "Let's Have a Kiki," and "I Don't Feel Like Dancin.'"&nbsp;Shears went on to release "Creep City" —&nbsp;his first song as a solo artist —&nbsp;on October 31, 2017.

Aside from his work with Scissor Sisters, Shears co-wrote the score for the musical adaptation of&nbsp;Tales of the City, which premiered at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco in 2011 under the direction of Jason Moore. He has also collaborated with&nbsp;artists including Cher, Kylie Minogue, Queens of the Stone Age, Erasure's Andy Bell, and Calvin Harris.

Shears made his Broadway debut as Charlie Price in Kinky Boots from January 8&nbsp;to April 1, 2018.
