JOAN JETT to star in Rocky Horror Live
from: theatre.com
NEW YORK -- Rocker JOAN JETT will star in the Broadway revival of The Rocky Horror Show, with talk show host Dick Cavett returning to the legitimate stage as the narrator of the cult musical that made way for the Rocky Horror Picture Show film phenomenon. Jett will play Columbia, one of the alien party-throwers in the campy sci-fi musical that throws a homoerotic spin on the Frankenstein legend.
ROCKY HORROR PHOTO SHOOT
from: broadway.com
The principals of The Rocky Horror Show got together for a photo shoot and Broadway.com was there to give you a peek at Jordan Roth's reinvisioned revival headed to Broadway in October. Here's what we can tell you: Tom Hewitt is a statuesque and sexy Frank 'n' Furter, JOAN JETT is a bald-headed Columbia and Daphne Rubin-Vega is... well, what can we say? We love her no matter what she does! Click here to see some of the photos.
JETT AS COLUMBIA
from: Variety
by Robert Hofler
Tyro Broadway producer Jordan Roth got creative with his cast for the revival of "The Rocky Horror Show" with a rocker, a talker and a gender-bender twist in his update of Richard O'Brien's musical take on the Frankenstein legend.
In a show that features the escapades of a cross-dressing mad scientist, Roth goes a step further with an example of female drag. He's cast Lea DeLaria ("On the Town") to play Eddie/Dr. Scott, roles originated by rock 'n' roller Meatloaf in the musical's London premiere and the 1975 Gotham production.
The latest "Rocky" continues the rock 'n' roll tradition as rocker JOAN JETT will make her Broadway debut as Columbia. And, in another novel piece of casting, Dick Cavett will perform narrator duties. The former talkshow host had appeared on Broadway previously, in "Otherwise Engaged" and "Into the Woods."
