Characters of the Rocky Horror Picture Show

“Rocky Horror” follows sweethearts Janet (Justice) and Brad (McCartan) who stumble upon Frank-N-Furter’s (Cox) bizarre abode. With the help of his faithful servants Riff Raff (Carney) and Magenta (yet to be cast), Frank-N-Furter, is holding an annual Transylvanian science convention to showcase the birth of “Rocky Horror” (Nair), a fit, attractive man created solely to fulfill Frank’s desires.

Lambert will play Eddie, who is described as the rock-n-roll loving ex-delivery boy who emerges at Dr. Frank-N-Further’s on a motorcycle and crashes the party.

“I grew up watching ‘Rocky Horror, ’ but could never imagine that I would be part of this new vision, ” said Lambert. “‘Rocky Horror’ always made me feel like it was OK to celebrate my weirdness. Hallelujah, bless my soul! I love that old time rock-n-roll!”
