When people talk about Cole Escola and Taylor Mac, I usually think of Julio Torres as well. There's not really a role for them unless it was as the most unsettlingly awkward Narrator ever... but I'd kinda enjoy that?

Alaska would be a sensational Frank, and played the Queen in Head Over Heels (alongside Lea Delaria as the King) in Sam’s Pasadena Playhouse production, so the working relationship is there.

This exactly. There are people I know (I did not see it myself) that love EVERYTHING but hated his La Cage.  Talk about a horror show, just go back and read its reviews on HERE. And how much was he really responsible for Oh, Mary?  I feel the Tony should have gone to Taymor, so I'm obviously biased, but, like Jordan, I really fear the casting first of all.  And then everything that follows. On here and on stage.

I don’t know, Pinkleton’s vision for La Cage seems better suited to Rocky Horror. And his Head Over Heels was very well received. I’m not sure how having one misfire of a regional production throws his entire ability as a director into doubt. There’s not a single director in history who has not had total misses. 
 

And if you think Pinkleton contributed little to Oh Mary, just wait for the dozens and dozens of poorly directed productions that will be happening across the nation in due time.

So, I found out today from someone who was asked and  submitted themselves for a role that they have cast Timotheé Chalamet - but it’s unclear if it’s for Brad or Frank. (They think Brad but can’t say with full certainty).

I honestly wish I was joking because they told me and I was like “…wut?”

I mean, I shouldn't say it but I simply do not believe that that is true. He doesn't have the charisma for Frank and Brad is essentially a nothing role. He's not putting his film life on hold for 6+ months for Rocky Horror. I'm sorry, he's just not.

Very likely that this will start as a 13-16 week run mid-March to the Tonys - plus 3 for rehearsal - he could limit himself to a short run (like Redmayne in Cabaret). DUNE: PART THREE is currently filming, and so will likely be wrapped by the time the stage beckons. (The last film started filming in July and ended in December).

At that point, they can extend with new cast.

I heard the Chalamet rumor a while ago, and I too did not believe it could happen until I saw he recently attended Oh, Mary and went backstage for a photo op. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but based on a cursory Google search, it doesn't seem like something Chalamet does often, if at all. 

Plus, post-Oscars spring through early summer runs are prime time for bigger film/TV folks to take on stage work, i.e. Kieran Culkin, Jean Smart.

I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be true. I think he'd be a great Brad.

Chalamet is one of the biggest stars in the world. If, and I mean if, he could be coaxed back to the stage, it would have to be something he personally really wanted to do. Perhaps something that would really challenge him. That does not sound like Brad. That sounds like Frank.

Do I doubt it? Yes. As has been stated, he’s massive right now and movies pay way better. However, he’s a NY kid who has a genuine love of theater and has talked about wanting to get back on the stage. He was supposed to do a play in London before Covid hit. So do I doubt it? Yes. Would I be shocked? No.

I heard the Chalamet rumor months ago and just figured it was BS. Interesting that you heard he was cast.

I've also heard rumors of Chalamet through some reliable sources. I think it's safe to say it's going to happen. RHS has not traditionally done that well in the states (excluding the 2001 revival) and with the state of Broadway being what it is, the producers are going to pull a heavy hitter.

It'll never happen at least in an original cast - but Alan H. Green would be a dream. That man is sexy as hell and has amazing stage presence. He could maybe be a replacement. On the other hand -- and this will also never happen -- I would also be super interested in seeing a plus size Frank. We've never seen that before. Call me crazy but I think Larry Owens would rock it.

I take this back.

The idea of Bostwick as the Narrator is growing on me and would be cool...

I cannot begin to express how much I detest the idea of Chalamet as Frank. I'd love for this revival to knock me out to the point where I have to revisit it at least once a month. But I do not want to buy a single ticket to see Chalamet do this. Love him in Dune (thought he should have gotten an Oscar nom for part 2). Love him in Call Me By Your Name. But I would be hard pressed to think of an actor less suited to this role. Hard pass for me. And can we PLEASE just make this revival queer AF???

Exactly. Him as Frank would be a complete non-starter. I don't feel like people are going to be interested in Rocky Horror because he's in it and it'd push away people who are interested. There are far more interesting people they could choose who would still be far more economical than him.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if there is precedent of this show having performances that started at midnight(regional, professional, or otherwise)? I genuinely believe this show could benefit from having midnight ‘showings.’ I understand, though, the typical broadway schedule impedes this from happening.

Plenty of precedent, but none of it recent. The original London production was held at 10:30 at the Theater Upstairs (the show was too noisy to perform while the show in the main theater was still on), and when it transferred to other locations along the King's Road (and I think also in Los Angeles) gave two shows a night (90 minute show, no intermission) at 8 and 10. The original Austrailian production had its first performance at midnight, but the rest of the run offered a performance at 7:30 and another at 9.

I think Hedwig started at 10pm on weekends, so I think there will be at least some late night shows. I have no idea if there are rules on that kind of thing.

During HEDWIG’s original Off-Broadway run at the Jane Street Theatre in the late 90s they had an 11pm show on Friday nights. Lost count how many times I was able to fit in HEDWIG after attending an 8pm Broadway show.

Unless they get a special dispensation, I can’t imagine that Roundabout would do a late show. One thing to remember is that everyone in a theatre after 11pm is usually paid overtime (the union contracts), which Roundabout may not be able to afford without up charging on tickets.
