Luke Evans to make Broadway debut leading Rocky Horror Show revival

Luke Evans is set to make his Broadway debut as Frank-N-Furter in the upcoming revival of Richard O'Brien's cult classic musical, The Rocky Horror Show, directed by Tony Award-winner Sam Pinkleton. The production will begin previews on March 26, 2026, at Studio 54, with an official opening on April 23, running through June 21. Known for his roles in Beauty and the Beast, The Hobbit trilogy, and Fast & Furious 6, Evans brings extensive stage experience from London's West End to this highly anticipated revival. The creative team includes choreographer Ani Taj, music director Kris Kukul, set designer dots, costume designer David I. Reynoso, lighting designer Jane Cox, sound designer Brian Ronan, and hair & makeup designer Alberto "Albee" Alvarado. The show follows the story of a young couple encountering the eccentric Dr. Frank-N-Furter and his transgressive creations, featuring iconic songs such as "Time Warp". Both Evans and Pinkleton express excitement about bringing new life to this beloved, boundary-pushing musical at the historic Studio 54 venue.
