Luke Evans Dons Heels on Broadway as Frank-N-Furter, Earns Tony Nomination

Luke Evans is Tony-nominated for his Broadway debut as Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Show at Studio 54, delivering a high-camp, high-stakes performance after months of heel-walking prep and a corset-and-wig reveal that drew praise. Director Sam Pinkleton sought a lead who could be a tremendous actor, comedian, and project a sense of queerness, and Evans—whose career spans West End and films—crafted an interpretation that balances danger with humor beyond Tim Curry’s iconic take.
