inception said: "This show spoofs the tropes ofold horror films. Dr. Frank-N-Furter aligns with a character like Dracula from the old Universal Studios film who kidnaps the unsuspecting young couple coming to his castle for assistance. He's a mad scientist who has built a monster like in the Universal Studios picture Frankenstein.Dr. Frank-N-Furter is actually thevillainof the piece if it were played seriously.Do you really want a trans individual to play thevillainwho kidnaps, assaults, and ...

Jordan Catalano said: "Frank isn’t trans. He’s a bisexual transvestite. That’s how the character is written."the word transvestite has also been used to degrade trans women for decades and there are very clear transmisogynistic tropes in frank's character. i just personally don't care to see a cis person playing into that when there are countless trans performers who could reclaim that and do something inventive for once + i know a lot of trans people who feel the same

ACL2006 said: "Jordan Catalano said: "Luke as Frank makes me happy. Might be a little “safe” but compared to so many of the names thrown around here, this is more than ok with me. And 25 years ago, I’m sure if this board existed people would have complained Tom Hewitt or Terrence Mann were “uninspired” and they were brilliant and helped shape that magnificent revival."Frank being played by Luke shouldn't upset people. Frank can be played by straights, gay, bi, trans... It shouldn't matter. Th...

TheGingerBreadMan said: "Ugh. This is terribly unexciting and uninspired. I was hoping for casting that felt really special. I hope to be proven wrong - I'd love it if Luke turns out to be amazing - but I can't see it."agreed :/ not super thrilled for a cis interpretation of frank in 2026... fully changed my mind on tickets w the announcement

Kad said: "I think Frank in this day and age should definitely be played by a queer performer. (I do have some misgivings, however, about casting a trans performer in the role, which, to me, has the potential to really make the piece much more problematic than many already think it is)."i definitely see where you're coming from! my perspective as a trans person is it's better for a trans person to play the role in a way that can be subversive or in a sort of reclaiming way over a cis person p...

THDavis said: "I respect that. I think from a socially political side, it would make sense for them to cast a non-binary, trans, or at least queer person in the role. I personally don’t believe Frank is more than a man in women’s clothes, though - isn’t that what transvestite more or less meant at the time? He’s also an alien, and Simard is out of this world lolNotes on baritones absolutelyagreed with - worth protecting the roles. She would just be thrilling to listen to with that score."it's...

looking at pre-sale prices, it looks like the first 4 weeks of the run have significantly cheaper tickets (the range goes jumps from $49-$269 to $83-318). i'm a newb to this stuff but is this standard? if not, any possible explanations?

After seeing the tiktoks being referenced, I would think that if she was in the show that those posts would be considered a breach of some sort of NDA, so I doubt she's involved :/
