Luke Evans To Star In The Rocky Horror Show!
The Hobbit's Luke Evans is set to star in Broadway’s The Rocky Horror Show Revival
The Hobbit's Luke Evans is making his Broadway debut in Sam Pinkleton's revival of The Rocky Horror Show, playing the iconic Dr. Frank-N-Furter! Previews start on March 26, with the official opening on April 23, and the run is currently set to finish on June 21 at Studio 54.
Evans first made waves in theatre before transitioning to Hollywood, starring in well-known shows such as Miss Saigon and Rent. His Hollywood credits include Fast & Furious 6 and 7 as Owen Shaw, Beauty and the Beast as Gaston, The Hobbit trilogy as Bard, and many more.
So don your highest heels, fishiest fishnets, tightest corsets, and other delightfully garish garments, it's time to do the Time Warp... again! As Evans prepares to "let the show begin," fans and theatre-lovers alike will be watching to see how he brings his signature charisma to this iconic role.
What Is The Story?
Filled with toe-tapping and instantly singable classics like 'Science Fiction/Double Feature', 'Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch Me', the iconic 'Time Warp' and 'Hot Patootie', the Rocky Horror Picture Show chronicles the misadventures of virginal childhood sweethearts Brad and Janet, who hit a flat during a storm and seek shelter in the creepy looking mansion they deem the 'Frankenstein place'. There they meet the outrageously fabulous transvestite scientist Dr. Frank-N-Furter and a host of misfits including Riff Raff, Magenta, and Columbia, who rock their minds and bodies with a whole new scintillating way of being.
More information about when tickets will go on sale will be provided at a later date.
