CASTING SHOCKER: LAVERNE COX AS DR FRANK-N-FURTER IN THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW!

We just don’t know WHAT to think about the casting of Laverne Cox as Dr Frank-N-Furter in the Fox TV live remake of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Certainly she has the acting talent and probably the voice to match. But the original star Tim Curry has some big shoes to fill. He was brilliant and unforgettable as the cross-dressing mad scientist. Casting a transgender WOMAN in the role of a transvestite MAN is confusing, indeed. Wow. But that’s what might make it a must-see production.

BIG BANG’S JIM PARSONS IS A SWEET TRANSVESTITE

The Big Bang Theory cast dressed up like their favorite Rocky Horror Picture Show characters and performed Time Warp to the shock and delight of the crowd at an Alzheimer’s fund raiser. The event was “A Night at Sardi’s” and Kaley Cuoco, Melissa Rauch, and Jim Parsons (above) along with other cast members, had as much fun as the audience. Parsons was especially effective as the Sweet Transvestite Dr Frank-N-Furter.
