A few weeks ago, Mickey-Jo saw the new Broadway revival of THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW at Studio 54.
This production, presented by Roundabout Theatre Company, is directed by Sam Pinkleton and stars Luke Evans as Dr Frank n Furter with a cast that also includes Stephanie Hsu, Amber Gray, Andrew Durand, Juliette Lewis, MJ Rodriguez, Rachel Dratch, and more.
