The Broadway cast of The Rocky Horror Show will transform 30 Rockefeller Plaza into Transylvania Monday night to make the production's stellar television debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
In this exclusive teaser shared with Out, Luke Evans, as Dr. Frank-N-Furter, delivers a seductive rendition of “Sweet Transvestite." He's surrounded by his stellar cast mates, including Andrew Durand, Stephanie Hsu, Amber Gray, Micheala Jaé Rodriguez, Harvey Guillén, Juliette Lewis, Josh Rivera, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, Anania, and Boy Radio.
Evans and the cast give it their all in the clip, and the audience thought so too, cheering them on. (A fabulously dressed Evans also made sartorial headlines earlier this evening as he walked the red carpet at the Met Gala.)
Richard O'Brien's The Rocky Horror Show, directed by the Tony-winning director of Oh, Mary!, Sam Pinkleton, is picking up heavy buzz for Tony nominations ahead of Tuesday morning's awards announcement. The production has a storied history on stage and screen, becoming a cult classic following the release of the 1975 movie musical, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, starring Tim Curry and Susan Sarandon. A staged production of Richard O'Brien's brainchild premiered in the West End before transferring to Broadway. Rocky Horror had a Broadway revival back in 2000 and found audiences in other formats, but it hasn't been on the Great White Way in over two decades, until now. It's playing through July 19 at Studio 54.
Along with the cast of Broadway's Rocky Horror, guests on Monday night's episode of The Tonight Show include The Comeback star Lisa Kudrow, Dancing With the Stars's Robert Irwin, and Steve Van Zandt.
