Rocky Horror Show Revival Cast — Page 16

I feel the opposite of "meh" about this.

I'm not a big fan of Rocky Horror but this cast list has me much more interested in going. Lots of really talented TV and movie actors here - I'll be curious to see how they do on stage.

Maybe I'm too nostalgic from that last revival, that cast was pitch perfect and electric.

This cast to me feels strangely mix and match or "best we could get from what there was", but I'm curious about the direction and concept. 

Juliette Lewis Is the only thing exciting about this

Actually, after more thought (and some tequila), I agree with u. 

No idea how this will turn out, and we each have our own favorites/preferences, but the griping over this cast is wild. Yes, its a shame they didnt land Meryl Streep and Bad Bunny for this, but back in reality, this is an impressive mix of different types of "names"---they will be able to say they have Oscar and Emmy nominated crew of diverse and undeniably talented people. The naysaying here is just silly

Personally, Juliette Lewis, Amber Gray and Harvey Guillen are worth the price of admission. Dratch seems like an inspired idea, could be fantastic. I am underwhelmed by Durand and Hsu but thats nitpicking. Cant wait.

• Brad — Andrew Durand
• Janet — Stephanie Hsu
• Riff Raff — Amber Gray
• Magenta — Juliette Lewis
• Columbia — Michaela Jaé Rodriguez
• Rocky — Josh Rivera
• Eddie — Harvey Guillén
• Narrator — Rachel Dratch

The cast will also include Renée Albulario, Anania, Boy Radio, Caleb Quezon, Andres Quintero, Larkin Reilly, Paul Soileau, and John Yi."

probably just 4 Phantoms, while 4 others will be swings/understudies. why can't they do a larger ensemble? Otherwise, mostly thrilled for this casting(Durand should be Riff Raff).

Some of y’all are impossible to please. This cast is A+. Juliette freaking Lewis? Academy Award nominee (should be “winner”), Stephanie Hsu? Dratch? Hello??

People on here love brandishing that they're too old or ignorant and have no idea who those acclaimed actors are.  And no, none of them have to prove you personally wrong. That being said, the Oracle was right again about the cast.

The cast is okay imo but Juliette Lewis is far from being A-list actor. I like her a lot but let's not dilute ourselves either.

A+ doesn't mean A-List...

Most of Broadway musicals don't have any A list celebrities in them. Being famous on Broadway means the rest of the world has never heard of you or wouldn't notice if an understudy goes on. Juliette Lewis is the 90s icon, there's not anyone among Gen X or older millenials who hasn't heard of her. I'm wondering if people are trolling or being serious.

Color never said she was an A-list actor. And the word you're looking for is "delude."

If you don't like the cast, don't see the show."

Damn these subway tunnels. You took the words right out of my mouth (fingers?) as I was typing them.
