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. His journey—from early career instability to Broadway stardom, aided by his supportive family and fan culture around Rocky Horror—reflects a milestone opening on April 23, 2026.
