We worship The Rocky Horror Picture Show. We will defend Shock Treatment as a more-than-worthy follow-up/sequel. So, when we heard that Richard O'Brien's The Rocky Horror Show would be hitting NYC's Studio 54 on Broadway in April 2026, we were both excited and heartbroken. We're excited because it puts "Rocky Horror" back in the spotlight in a very big way. We're heartbroken because we know that we're never going to get a chance to see it live. But NBC's The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon is giving us the next best thing, starting at 11:35 pm ET/PT (and streaming the next day on Peacock).
Along with fellow guests Lisa Kudrow, Robert Irwin, and Stevie Van Zandt, The Rocky Horror Show cast will make its late-night performance debut. We're talking about a kickass all-star cast that includes Luke Evans as Dr. Frank-N-Furter, Stephanie Hsu as Janet, Andrew Durand as Brad, Juliette Lewis as Magenta, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez as Columbia, Harvey Guillen as Eddie/Dr. Scott, Rachel Dratch as the Narrator, Josh Rivera as Rocky, and Amber Gray as Riff Raff. In addition, the cast performance of "Sweet Transvestite" will include Renée Albulario, Anania, Boy Radio, Caleb Quezon, Andres Quintero, Larkin Reilly, Paul Soileau, and John Yi. To help set the mood, we're passing long some looks at how the production came to be, how the cast and creative team were feeling before and after opening night, and much more (including a chance to hear Evans perform "I'm Going Home," which is waiting for you above.
