Just one day after Luke Evans’ final performance as Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show on Broadway, it was announced that Tim Curry passed away at the age of 80.
Evans was nominated for a Tony Award for his portrayal of the character Curry made famous in the 1975 cult-classic movie. So, it was no surprise that Evans wrote a letter to Curry shortly before his death.

“Three weeks ago, I wrote Tim Curry a letter. I want to share it with you. He was a force, a bright, fierce flame, an exquisite charm and that rich vocal tone; he was an inspiration to me and so many more people for the roles he played and the effect he had on so many of us,” Evans wrote on Instagram. “There will only be one Tim Curry.”
He went on to share the note he wrote three weeks before his final show after seven months on Broadway.
View this post on Instagram“Being compared to you has been one of the greatest compliments I’ve ever received, even though it’s a comparison no one could ever hope to live up to. There is, and always will be, only one Tim Curry,” he said in the note. “I’ve never tried to recreate what you did. That would be impossible. I simply hoped to honour the extraordinary character you brought to life, while finding my own way through him.”
Evans thanked Curry for his “fearless performance” and for inspiring generations of actors.
“I hope, wherever you are, you’d approve of one more Frank having the time of his life in those heels,” Evans ended the note.
Evans will be replaced by Scissor Sisters singer Jake Shears on Broadway, continuing Curry’s legacy.
In the words of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, “Don’t dream it. Be it.”
