CAST

NARRATOR-The commander in chief of transexual Transylvania who is recounting the story for us.  He is a tad uptight but does love the dance of his people!

ROCKY-Frank N Furter’s creation of the perfect man.  He is beautiful with half of a low functioning brain.  He is gentle and built for love and sex.  The actor will spend the show in a Speedo-type costume.  Though he has few lines, he sings.  His “Sword of Damacles” number is for a baritone with a solid rock and roll style.

BRAD-The young, uptight groom who discovers new sexual appetites during his evening in the castle.  He spends some of the show in his underwear and is involved in a sexual scene with Frank N. Furter.

JANET-The innocent, young, bride to be who awakens a voracious sexual appetite during the night at the castle.  After being seduced by Frank, she teaches Rocky the joys of sex.

RIFF RAFF-The butler of the castle and Frank N Furter’s second in command who is reporting back to main command on the work of Frank.  He has always felt robbed of his rightful post as commander.

MAGENTA/USHERETTE—The bold maid of the castle in love with Riff Raff while also being his sister .  She would do anything for him and becomes his 2nd when he finally ascends to control.  As the usherette, she is in a relationship with the second usherette.

COLUMBIA/USHERETTE-An Earthling in love with Frank even though he murders her ex-boyfriend for his brain to aid in building his creation.  She is a bit dense, highly emotional and easily manipulated.

FRANK N FURTER-The alien commander who has become obsessed with building the perfect sexual partner, a man with blonde hair and a tan.  He has sex with everyone and is desired by all.  He is Elvis, Prince and Mick Jagger in a corset.  Amazingly dynamic, incredibly powerful and in complete control!

EDDIE/DR. SCOTT-Eddie is the part Zombie lover who has sacrificed half of his brain for Frank’s obsession.  A lovable delivery guy who was partially lured by his girlfriend Columbia. After he is murdered, his uncle Dr. Scott comes looking for him. Dr. Scott works with the CIA on alien investigations. He is of German ancestry with a strong dialect.
