Yesterday morning, we shared a picture (cropped above) from Entertainment Weekly that gave us our first look at Laverne Cox and Ben Vereen in character as Dr. Frank-N-Furter and Dr. Scott in Fox's upcoming TV movie presentation of the classic musical THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW. Since then, Entertainment Weekly has provided another batch of pictures revealing more of the show's main characters.
In the images below, we have Victoria Justice and Ryan McCartan as Brad; the couple with Reeve Carney as Riff Raff, Christina Milian as Magenta, and Annaleigh Ashford as Columbia; and Staz Nair as Rocky. Rounding things out is a glimpse at this show's version of what is perhaps the most popular musical number in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, "The Time Warp".
Now we just need to see what Adam Lambert and Tim Curry look like as Eddie and the Narrator, respectively.
The TV version of The Rocky Horror Picture Show is being directed and choreographed by Kenny Ortega, who promises, "It's the same score and the same story and the same characters and the same good camp and fun."
The Rocky Horror Picture Show follows
sweethearts Janet Weiss and Brad Majors, played in the movie by Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick, who stumble upon Dr. Frank-N-Furter’s bizarre abode. Frank-N-Furter, a sexually ambiguous flirtatious alien mad-scientist, is holding an annual Transylvanian science convention to showcase the birth of “Rocky Horror” – a fit, attractive man created solely to fulfill Frank’s desires.
Fox will air the musical sometime this fall.
