The Rocky Horror Show is a raunchy, rock n' roll musical of sexual desire, LGBTQ exploration and the struggle for power. This cult classic show revolves around newly engaged couple Brad and Janet. On a drive to see an old friend, they get a flat tire and stumble on an old and creepy castle. Unbeknownst to them, the castle belongs to the mysterious Dr. Frankenfurter and his crew of misfits, who lead them into a night of sci-fi, seduction and rock and roll!   

*Content Warning: Adult Language, Sexual Situations, and Inuendo.

(At this time ALL GENDERS are being considered for ALL roles EXCEPT for Brad and Janet)

DR. FRANK N. FURTER Any Gender Any Race/Ethnicity 30s-50s Range: Baritone D3-G4 A self-indulgent cross-dressing mad scientist/transvestite/master of the castle. He has impeccable comedic timing, an incredibly-forward sense of sexuality, and an irresistible charisma. 

BRAD Male Identifying Any Race/Ethnicity 20s-30s Range: Bari-Tenor Bb2-G4 A straight-laced, optimistic, stereotypical All-American man. Until he isn’t. 

JANET Female Identifying Any Race/Ethnicity 20s-30s Range: Mezzo-Soprano A3-Eb5 A naive, wholesome, stereotypical All-American girl. Until she isn’t. 

RIFF RAFF Any Gender Any Race/Ethnicity 20s-50s Range: Rock Tenor D3-B4 Transylvanian brother/lover of Magenta. Disgruntled underling in the castle. A bit creepy. Must have strong rock vocals.

MAGENTA Any Gender Any Race/Ethnicity 20s-50s Range: Mezzo-Soprano Bb3-Eb5 Transylvanian sister/lover of Riff-Raff. A maid in the castle. Slightly scary, overtly sexual.   

COLUMBIA Any Gender Any Race/Ethnicity 20s-40s Range: Mezzo-Soprano E4-E5 A groupie who falls in love with Eddie. Quirky, lost soul. Must be able to tap dance. 

ROCKY Any Gender Any Race/Ethnicity 20s-40s Range: Tenor A3-G4 A tanned and toned creation of Frank’s—his epitome of “the perfect man.”

 EDDIE Any Gender Any Race/Ethnicity 30s-50s Range: Baritone F3-F#4 An ill-fated delivery boy with no sense of control or sanity. Emerges from the deep freeze with half his brain and is all rock and roll madness. 

DR. SCOTT Any Gender Any Race/Ethnicity 40s-60s Range: Baritone F3-F#4 Mentor of Brad and Janet who senses trouble in the castle. Strong comedic timing and perhaps a German accent*. 

NARRATOR Any Gender Any Race/Ethnicity 30s-70s Range: Non-Singing Role Speaks directly to the audience in a professional manner. British accent*. Must be great with improv as this character has direct interaction with a sometimes very vocal audience. 

PHANTOMS Any Gender Any Race/Ethnicity 20s-50s Range: SATB (soprano, alto, tenor, bass: a combination of voices) Ever-present, always lurking inhabitants of The Rocky Horror Show. Various body types and vocal ranges. Must be able to move well. 

*Accents do not need to be perfect but dialogue needs to be clear and understood by the audience.
