Let’s do the time warp again, only this time at Studio 54.

Richard O’Brien’s The Rocky Horror Show gets the Broadway treatment this year at the legendary Studio 54 (254 West 54^th Street), with a production by Roundabout Theatre Company, direction by Tony Award winner Sam Pinkleton (Oh, Mary!), and a full cast, details of which are announced today, Jan. 29.

Joining the previously-announced Luke Evans (Beauty and the Beast, High-Rise, Backstairs Billy), who makes his Broadway debut as the iconic Frank-N-Furter, is Rachel Dratch (POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive, SNL) as Narrator; Andrew Durand (Dead Outlaw, Shucked, Little Shop of Horrors) as Brad; Stephanie Hsu (Everything Everywhere All at Once, SpongeBob SquarePants: The Broadway Musical, Be More Chill) as Janet; and Amber Gray (Eureka Day; Hadestown; Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812) as Riff Raff.

Also making their Broadway debuts are Harvey Guillén (What We Do in the Shadows, Companion, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish) as Eddie/Dr. Scott; Juliette Lewis (Yellowjackets, Cape Fear) as Magenta; Michaela Jaé Rodriguez (Loot, Pose, Rent) as Columbia; and Josh Rivera (American Sports Story, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, West Side Story), who will play the quiet hunk Rocky.

The cast will also include Renée Albulario, Anania, Boy Radio, Caleb Quezon, Andres Quintero, Larkin Reilly, Paul Soileau, and John Yi. 

The Rocky Horror Show will begin previews on Thursday, March 26, 2026, ahead of an opening on Thursday, April 23, 2026. This is a limited engagement through Sunday, June 21, 2026, producers insist.

Yes, time is fleeting for this production.

Richard O’Brien’s The Rocky Horror Show has been in continuous production around the globe for 52 years, and is recognized as the only musical to have such a remarkable longevity — despite critics deliver an early “turkey” verdict.

The show originally opened on London’s West End at the Royal Court Theatre in 1973, and has been seen by over 40 million people in 15 languages. The subsequent film, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, premiered in 1975 and is now a bonafide camp, cult classic.

Initially a box-office donut, the Jim Sharman-directed film, with its singalong soundtrack and loveable, off-the-wall characters, played by Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Meatloaf and others, found fans everywhere. To this day, it’s still playing in limited theatrical showings around the United States, making it the longest big-screen run for a film in history. A 50th anniversary vinyl edition of the soundtrack hit shelves last October.

He can strike a pose, but Connor Storrie confesses he’s not much of a dancer.

At Paris Fashion Week yesterday (Jan. 27), the Heated Rivalry actor was reminded of the viral video of himself dancing to Madonna’s “Like a Prayer.” When asked by Dazed to name something he’s bad at, but loves to do, Storrie joked, “I’m not bad at anything,” and then added “uhm, I don’t know dancing?”

The Dazed reporter replied “I saw the Madonna dance, I think you’re good,” with Storrie responding, “That was me, that was me just living.”

Dazed spoke with Storrie at Saint Laurent men’s fall 2026 ready-to-wear show in Paris, where he was seated in the front row alongside fellow Heated Rivalry actors François Arnaud and Robbie G.K. The Saint Laurent moment comes after the show’s co-star, Hudson Williams, walked the runway at Dsquared2’s fall 2026 runway show in Milan on Jan. 16.

It’s been a month since Storrie lit up social media with a video of himself dancing and lip-syncing to Madonna’s classic hit. The short was filmed for Interview magazine and uploaded on Dec. 27. Since then, it has generated over 9 million views across the publication’s Instagram, TikTok and Twitter accounts.

As for numbers around Madonna’s own “Like a Prayer” song, it generated 1.420 million official on-demand streams in the United States in the week ending Jan. 22, according to Luminate — marking its biggest streaming week in seven months. It last posted a bigger streaming week in the week ending June 5, 2025, when it tallied 1.473 million clicks.

“Like a Prayer” topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart for three weeks in 1989.

Astronauts, as we know, are the rarest of people. Ron McNair was the rarest of astronauts.

McNair was just the second African American to fly in space, doing so in February 1984, and he was a talented artist. A jazz musician. By taking a curved soprano saxophone aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger STS-41B mission that year, he became the first person to play a musical instrument in space.

Four decades ago, McNair was on the cusp of creating another piece of music history, by performing a sax solo that would’ve resonated around the world.

Jean-Michel Jarre had planned the out-of-this world performance, which would’ve seen McNair play the part from the final track on the French electronic composer’s eighth album, 1986’s Rendez-Vous.

Sadly, the performance never happened. On Jan. 28, 1986, just 73 seconds after liftoff, the Challenger shuttle exploded. None of the seven crew members survived.

“Today marks the 40th anniversary of the Challenger space shuttle tragedy,” writes Jarre in a social post. “My heart is with all the families and loved ones who continue to carry the weight of this loss.

“I pay special tribute to my dear friend Ron McNair – astronaut, musician, and pioneer – who was due to perform a saxophone solo live from space as part of my Houston concert.”

As a salute to McNair, the album’s sixth and last piece is entitled “Last Rendez-Vous (Ron’s Piece) – Challenger.”

Later on April 5, 1986, Jarre paid tribute to McNair and his colleagues on the space shuttle with “Rendez-vous Houston: A City in Concert,” an open-air concert that celebrated the city’s 150th anniversary and NASA’s 25th, and featured a state-of-the art laser show which turned the city’s skyscrapers into art installations.

The concert set a Guinness World Record for the largest concert audience (1.5 million), and was later released as a live album.

A South Carolina native, McNair experienced segregation as a child. That didn’t rob him of chasing his dreams. In 1976, he completed a PhD in physics from MIT, he earned a 5th-degree black belt in karate, and mastered the sax. He was posthumously awarded the Congressional Space Medal of Honor in 2004, and his pioneering work is preserved with The MIT Black History Project and through The Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program, established to encourage underrepresented students to pursue doctoral studies.

His musicianship lives on, too.

“That performance never took place,” Jarre writes, “but Ron’s Piece lives on. His heartbeat is in the music, echoing into eternity.”
