‘The Rocky Horror Show’ Broadway Review: A Much Needed Time Warp With Luke Evans & Rachel Dratch In Vivacious Revival

The Rocky Horror Show opens on Broadway tonight amidst a cultural landscape much changed – or maybe not so much – from the ’70s midnight movie circuit era that gave asshole (audience says so, not me) Brad, Janet (damn it!) and Dr. Frank-N-Furter, the sweet transvestite from Transexual, Transylvania, a landing place in the world. A celebration of LGBTQ+ vivacity long before those letters were strung together, Rocky Horror was an outrageous and necessary tonic in a world unwelcoming to cross-dressing rice-tossers who shouted vulgar quips at big screen images of Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Barry Bostwick, Meat Loaf, all playing various assorted misfits.
