RICHARD O'BRIAN'S ROCKY HORROR SHOW
Brad: Male Identifying. Any race / ethnicity. 20s-30s. A straight-laced All-American man from Denton, Brad Majors discovers everything he believes about himself and his world challenged when he and his fiancé, Janet Weiss, are confronted with the rampant hedonism of space alien Dr. Frank N Furter. Range: Bari-Tenor Bb2-G4.
Janet: Female Identifying. Any race / ethnicity. 20s-30s. An All-American girl, engaged to Brad Majors, who tries to be everything expected of her until she enters the world of Frank N Furter and his creation Rocky Horror. Her world is turned upside down as she is lured into exploring aspects of herself she never dreamed she had. Range: Mezzo-Sop A3-Eb5.
Criminologist: Any Gender. Any Race / Ethnicity. 30s-70s. The Criminologist serves as a narrator telling this story of debauchery, decadence and an attack on the American Way. Great with improv as this character gets most of the abuse from a sometimes quite vocal crowd. Non-Singing Role.
Riff Raff: Male Identifying. Any Race / Ethnicity. 20s-60s. Brother/lover of Magenta and a disgruntled, Transylvanian underling of Dr. Frank N. Furter, Riff-Raff eventually overthrows his master in order to return to his home planet. Rage: Rock Tenor D3-B4.
Magenta / Usherette: Female Identifying. Any Race / Ethnicity. 20s-50s. Sister and lover of Riff-Raff, Magenta is part of the secret mission from Transylvania forced to be disguised as a maid under Frank N. Furter. Returns in full space alien uniform to bring things to a conclusion and force Frank to return them all to Transylvania. Doubles as USHERETTE. Range: Mezzo-Sop Bb3-Eb5
Columbia: Female Identifying. Any Race / Ethnicity. 20s-30s. Columbia is a groupie. She first falls in love with Frank N. Furter, then the Delivery Boy, Eddie. A rock and roll lost soul who never manages to completely fit in. Range: Mezzo-Sop E4-E5.
Dr. Frank N. Furter: Male Identifying. Any Race / Ethnicity 30s-50s. A “sweet transvestite” scientist from the planet of Transsexual, located in the galaxy of Transylvania. He has subverted the space mission to take over a castle to serve as his laboratory for the creation of a monster, Rocky Horror, experiment, boy-toy and love-slave. He is renowned for his decadence and fetishes, self-indulgence which in turn lead to his ultimate downfall. Range: Baritone D3-G4.
Rocky Horror: Male Identifying. Any Race / Ethnicity 20s-30s. Created from scratch and using half of Eddie's brain in the strange laboratory of Dr. Frank N. Furter. Rocky Horror came into the world a perfect specimen and simply to serve as a plaything for his creator. Rocky’s knowledge of the world is limited to the purely lustful and sexual. He exists for a very short span of time, during which he has trysts with both Frank N. Furter and Janet. He reflects Mary Shelley’s classic monster of Frankenstein, who is loved and then rejected by his creator. Range: Tenor A3-G4
Eddie / Dr. Scott: Male Identifying. Any Race / Ethnicity. 30s-50s. Eddie from birth is a rotten egg, perpetually finding trouble. He is implied to have had sexual relations with both Dr. Frank N. Furter and Columbia and seems to have no sense of control or sanity. He emerges from the deep freeze with half his brain and is all rock and roll madness. Doubles as DR. SCOTT, mentor of Brad and Janet and uncle of Eddie. Rival of Dr. Frank N. Furter and an expert on UFOs. When he wanders into the castle in search of his nephew he discovers a secret lair of mad science, decadence, and depravity. Range: Baritone: F3-F#4.
2 Phantoms: Any Race / Ethnicity. 20s-50s. Two backup singers, who perform with the onstage band. Will also cover the principal roles.
