Good lord – they were in Rocky?

Other / Canada

rockyhorror.jpgNo, I don’t mean the good Rocky. Sadly, I’m speaking of the one that trades in its boxing gloves for a pre-op transexual’s codpiece. That’s right, I’m talking about The Rocky Horror Show.

There’s currently a revival of it on at CanStage in Toronto, and as such the Saturday edition of the Toronto Star devoted a large chunk of their Entertainment section to all things Rocky a few weeks back.

The highlight? A list of stars who have all appeared in it on stage at one time or another, complete with the characters they portrayed, the cities they performed in, and the years they were involved;

  • Gary Glitter – Frank’n’Furter – New Zealand, 1978
  • Tracey Ullman – Janet – London, 1980
  • Jerry Springer – Narrator – Cincinnati, 1982
  • RuPaul – Riff Raff – Atlanta, 1985
  • Wendy O. Williams – Magenta – St. Louis, 1985
  • Marina Sirtis – Magenta – Munich, 1985
  • Russell Crowe – Eddie/Dr. Scott – Australia, 1987
  • David Arquette – Frank’n’Furter – Los Angeles, 1999
  • Dick Cavett – Narrator – New York, 2000
  • Lea DeLaria – Eddie/Dr.Scott – New York, 2000
  • Luke Perry – Brad – New York, 2001
  • Robin Leach – Narrator – New York, 2001
  • Sally Jesse Raphael – New York, 2001

If you’re in Toronto and you think you might be interested in catching the show, tickets are surprisingly reasonable through the CanStage website. The show’s run has been extended thru May 5th.
