On Wednesday night, the cast of “The Rocky Horror Show” on Broadway paid tribute to the late Tim Curry, who originated the role of Dr. Frank-N-Furter in the 1975 cult-classic musical film.
Actor Paul Soileau spoke about the actor at curtain call, remembering him for the incredible legacy he left.
“The way Frank-N-Furter survives is that he finds vessels and he goes into them, and he takes them over, and he keeps moving and moving all around,” Soileau said. “But if you trace it all back, 53 years ago there’s one home and one vessel; one mothership that Frank-N-Furter can actually call home. And it’s Tim Curry”
“[Writer and composer] Richard O’Brien laid a piece of paper in front of Tim Curry with ingredients on it. And he took all of those ingredients, and he created this beast that everyone found something within and could see a piece of themself inside of it,” he continued. “Just as Richard O’Brien created ‘Rocky Horror Picture Show’ to find something more about himself, you can also say that Tim Curry created Frank-N-Furter to express and find something deeper about himself. And somehow it resonated for this long with this many people in this room here right now.”
“Obituaries always say that he didn’t have children. And that’s bulls–t, because he has so many children in this world. Tim Curry has more family than I think any of us could ever imagine,” Soileau concluded
As a result, the crowd began chanting, “Tim! Tim! Tim!”
Soileau then brought Tony Award nominee Luke Evans, who was the first actor to play Frank in this revival, onto the stage, as well as Scissor Sisters frontman Jake Shears, who will also be in the role beginning on Sept. 11. They were then joined by the entire cast, singing a rendition of “I’m going home.”
