I feel like a rock star and it's an amazing feeling.

Im nothing like Frank in real l at all.

There's nothing about him like I have my ass out in front of a thousand people every night.

But in this role, with those boo and that wig and that voice and these songs, it's like, I have the best entrance I've ever had, ever on a stage.

The Rocky Horror Show is a music It's a bat**** crazy, absurd, sc inspired sex romp with aliens.

Now, if that doesn't give you an of the kind of show we're making or what that show i and then I don't know how else to describe it.

Rehearsing for Rocky Horror was it was novel just because we were rehearsing on 42nd Street.

I was the only one that used to look out the window at luncht Everybody else was sleeping or talking, and I was just like, this is mad.

Like I'm not just rehearsing a Broadway show, but we're on 42nd Street and that's Times Square.

So yeah, it was it was like being a big kid.

In the first week, Sam Pinkleton, the director, took us to studio 54.

It was before any of the work st The stage wasn't even there.

He wanted us just to feel the energy of the s which we were about to become a We got to sit up in the mezzanin and just take it in, and I thought that was a really lovely thing to do.

And it definitely has an energy that's unique.

So we're in the second week of tech rehearsal, which, very long hours.

11 hour days.

And we're taking the show.

We have just finished act one la and now we today we start act tw So why don't you come inside and I'll show you around.

This dressing room is the one that's closest to the And the reason for that is that I'm wearing seven inch p stiletto boots.

They're huge.

I'm six foot eight in these shoe I've had to learn to walk, dance, squat, lunge.

I don't know how I've managed to but I've learned there is some fun to be had in heels and I've really enjoyed Because I'm frank-n-furter.

I wear a huge amount of makeup, so I've got a very, very colorful palette of makeup and a lot of brushes.

Oh, cool.

There you are, my lovely.

Oh, wow.

As if I haven't got enough makeup on this counter.

So she's just put me another box ones for my face, one's for my eyes, one's for my and one's glitter.

I've learned to do the lips myse And it's not just a lip.

It's a lip liner.

It's a lip that it's another pro that makes the glitter stick to And then you put the glitter on over the top, and then you have to tidy up the So, you know, I'm learning it's not something I do on a regular But yeah, I'll be ready for RuPaul's Drag Race at the end of this for sure That's Juliette Lewiss dressing It's very nice to be next to Juliette Lewis.

These are the people who make th look the way it does.

Make us look the way we do.

It's all happening.

This is my baby.

Can I pick it up?

This is just a little, little te We're still in tech, so the whole of the auditorium i with technicians and crew and bo and chaos.

Organized chaos, but chaos nonet Hi, guys.

Morning, Brianna.

So we're going to the entrance of the theater now, which is where anybody that comes to see the show will be walking through three lobbies.

They all have a different vibe and a different color theme, which is very exciting.

So the second you step into this you're in the world of Rocky Hor which I think is magical.

The theater has become part of o and our our our castle.

Frank's This is Bert.

Oh my god, Bert.

Bert, hello baby.

Look, hes all dressed up in Rocky Horror green.

Look.

Hey, baby.

Hey, baby.

So cute.

As an actor who started in theater when I was 20 years old on the West End stage in London.

I think it's everybody's dream.

A British actor, theater actor to one day tread the boards of a Broadway theater stage.

And 27 years later, I get to do And to do it in this show, in this building, it seems like the most perfect m of all dreams really.

Everything about this theater wo It makes sense.

It is almost, one of those perfect marriages of a show and a building.

And to be here and know that in a week and a half, I'm going to be standing on that sta right there with a 1200 person audience watching is actually really exciting.

I can't wait.

I'm very, very excited.

It was a crazy, crazy night.

For 25 years, the Rocky Horror fans have been to see this show back on a Broadway stage, so they didn't hold back.

It was full on.

Yeah.

I hadn't really thought about th that the first preview was also my Broadway debut.

The Broadway debut is a thing, y and it's lovely that it's celebr Today is a press day.

We're going to a studio to do Watch What Happens Live with And This is my dog.

She's called Lala.

She comes to the theater with me and she's got a little bed in my dressing room.

The first time she came to my dr room was in rehearsals, and I was in full Frank-N-Furter And it's quite terrifying because I'm like, six foot eight I have a wig.

I'm like, I'm gigantic.

She just walked in the room and she was like, oh yeah, there Yeah, she doesn't even notice.

It's bizarre.

So I'm the Frank-N-Furter and she's Frankenweener.

But this is a fun fact that when Alan Cumming was at St in 2014 doing Cabaret, he had a and that dog was called Lala too Ooh, you little baby.

Bye bye.

Morning, George.

I've had an amazing experience s Probably the hardest I've ever worked in my whole car I mean, films are intense, the hours are long, but the Broadway stamina really is something completely d I've lost 17 pounds since the 2nd of January, uh February when I arrived here, which is insane.

The Broadway, you know, existence, it does consume you, but that's the fun of it.

It's, It's it's a magical place.

Hi.

How are you?

Hey, hey, hey.

Hello.

Hello.

Hi.

Plumping lip serum.

Every man needs one of those.

Hey everybody.

Welcome to Watch What Happens Li I'm your host, Andy Cohen.

Give it up for Rachel Dratch and Luke Evans.

It's so great to see both of you It's lovely to be invited on the and it's great for the musical.

Hopefully it makes people intere and want to come and see it.

So that was Andy Cohen.

It was actually really fun, I loved it, very fun actually.

Today is opening.

We are opening the show after two and a half months of rehears a month of previews, and, it's finally here.

They put the red carpet out.

So yeah, I'm going to go in and get changed, glam up and do some press, and then do the show.

So I'm thrilled.

It took a while to get to this moment, but we're So yeah, I'm thrilled.

Howdy.

The community that Broadway has.

I'm very aware of it.

I feel like I'm in it with a group of people that have Lets do the Time Warp again!

Weve done all of the press and I'm going to take all this o and I'll turn into Frank and go do the show.

I love the fact that when we walk out every night to these incredible houses, people are literally like screaming at the tops of their voices, loving every second of it.

It's a nice thing to do for a li It was just a thrill to finally this baby.

Part of the reason why I wanted to play Frank is th this is so far removed from everything I've done up until this point.

Those roles don't come along very often, maybe once in a life And so I've been very, very lucky that, you know, Sam, Richard O'Brien Roundabout, Trafalgar Studios, who had this idea for many years came to me with it.

It's great.
