Luke Evans to Play Frank-N-Furter in Rocky Horror Show on Broadway
Tony winner Sam Pinkleton will direct the revival of the Richard O’Brien cult classic.
By Diep Tran, October 29, 2025
Luke Evans Fred Duval/ShutterstockWe see you shiver with antici….pation. Well wait no longer, because the Broadway revival of The Rocky Horror Show has revealed who will play Frank-N-Furter: Luke Evans (who played Gaston in the 2017 Beauty and the Beast film). Richard O’Brien‘s The Rocky Horror Show will begin previews March 26, 2026, ahead of an April 23 opening night at Studio 54. The show is a limited engagement through June 21. Additional casting is to be announced.
Evans’ screen credits include The Hobbit, Clash of the Titans, and Nine Perfect Strangers. He’s also appeared onstage in London in Rent, Miss Saigon, and Avenue Q. Rocky Horror will mark his Broadway debut.
Said Tony-winning director Sam Pinkleton (Oh, Mary!) in a statement: “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. No pressure, of course. Rocky Horror is, to me, a sublime, ridiculous, giant-hearted act of love—a trashy little musical that means so many things to generations of tender weirdos with mascara streaming down their faces. I hope we can make something joyous, unfathomable, straight from outer space and I can’t wait to welcome, really WELCOME you into the slimy tentacles of Studio 54.”
The production has also announced its creative team. Rocky Horror will feature choreography by Ani Taj (Dead Outlaw), music direction and orchestrations by Kris Kukul (Beetlejuice), set design by Tony Award nominee dots (Oh, Mary!), costume design by David I. Reynoso (Water for Elephants), lighting design by Tony winner Jane Cox (Appropriate), sound design by Tony winner Brian Ronan (Beautiful), and hair and makeup design by Alberto “Albee” Alvarado (The Outsiders).
Said creator O’Brien in a statement: “It is music to my ears to hear that a cast of very fine actors is on its way to NYC in order to play let’s dress-up and make-believe, sing and dance and uplift the hearts of all those who enjoy the gift of free-thinking and the pleasure of love. Break out the fishnets and let’s have a party.”

The Rocky Horror Show first premiered in London at the Royal Court Theatre (Upstairs) on June 19, 1973. It moved to several other locations, and ran a cumulative 2,960 performances, closing in 1980. The musical follows a straight-laced couple, Brad and Janet, who stumble upon a spooky house on a rainy night, and become attracted to the strange denizens who live within—particularly Frank-N-Furter, a gender non-conforming mad scientist. The show’s rock-influenced score include the crowd-pleasing songs “Sweet Transvestite, “The Timewarp,” “Dammit Janet,” and “Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch-a Touch Me.”

What if Dracula didn’t terrify us, but just needed a hug? Dracula Untold takes a great monster and neuters him with a backstory, turning terror into therapy. Genre heresy at its finest.
