I would assume it's the final scene, The Floor Show (which includes the songs Rose Tint My World and Don't Dream It, Be It)
THANK YOU Plannietink!! I was wondering when Annaleigh was going to show up from the paparazzi! I'm actually really into her wig. It's in the same vein of Columbia while still being fresh. I'm so excited.
First look at Laverne and Ben!
Naturally I'd expect her to look great! I'm still wondering if she can sing the part.
No, I don't think you're the only one that thinks that. But we don't know what changes they've made to Frank in regards to casting a woman rather than a man.
Well, Laverne is dressed in female clothing. Which sort of undercuts the idea of Frank being a sweet transvestite.
My lord what have they done to my beloved Ben Vereen?!?! And why is he even in this misguided mess?!?!?
Ben Vereen's wig looks kinda cheap. That's what I gleaned from the picture.
Ugh I am so not feeling this production.
Please give me a sensual/sexed-up/MAN[ly] Dr Frank-N-Furter-----for this role I don't want Tits and Ass.
The sex is DEFINITELY in the Heels for this man[ly] role [for me].
With every picture released I am hating it more and more.
it really looks like a low budget community theater's production of ROCKY HORROR.

Wait. Is this not going to be a live production?
No, and they never said it was. This isn't looking good.

No, this is not a live production. It is being filmed traditionally.
It undoubtedly has a budget several times that of the original movie, but somehow looks much cheaper.
I'm loving Magenta and Columbia's looks, and I wish they'd have wigged Janet. I'm trying to remain optimistic, but it does look cheap.
When is this due to air?
This one has yet to be posted here. Or on BroadwayWorld. Seems like they have just been getting their pictures exclusively from this thread, as usual. Again, a wig for Victoria Justice would have been great. But I'm loving all of their looks, especially Riff and Columbia. Rosscoe, I'd guess October, given the Halloween feel, but there isn't a specific date yet. Sometime in the Fall.
These looks all scream Halloween Costumes- Like something you would see people trick or treating and clubbing in, not high quality studio made costumes, If that makes sense LOL
Wow, those really do look bad. When Glee did Rocky Horror a few years ago, their costumes looked MUCH better! Bleh.
Why are they even doing this? It's not like the world was crying out for a remake, and it's not like any of the actors (as good as they are) are going to outshine the originals. If it's not live, what's the point?
Well, it's not much news, but we have a tentative October date, as expected.

"It wasn't all that bad, was it?"
Granted, it was two seconds, but Laverne looked pretty great.
