The Rocky Horror Show (Broadway)

254 West 54th Street · New York, NY

Why you should go…

Directed by Sam Pinkleton and starring Luke Evans as Frank-N-Furter, this revival opened at Studio 54 in April 2026 and earned nine Tony nominations including Best Revival of a Musical. The show follows straitlaced Brad and Janet after their car breaks down near a mysterious castle. Audience participation and campy spectacle are part of the tradition.

Good to know

General theatre & events guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Curtain time is firm

    Latecomers are commonly held at the back until a scene break, so build in a buffer.

  • Study the seating chart

    Price and sightline vary a lot within the same house. A few rows back can be the better seat.

  • Rush and lottery seats exist

    Many venues release same-day tickets at a discount if you are flexible about where you sit.

  • Arrive with time to spare

    Parking, bag check, and finding your row all take longer than you think on a full house.
