Synopsis:
The Rocky Horror Show is a daring critique of 1950s American society and its rigid gender roles, inviting audiences to challenge norms and celebrate diversity. Through its provocative storyline, the musical dismantles stereotypes and fearlessly explores themes of sexual fluidity and identity. Audience members are active participants in this interactive experience, where shouting, singing along, and engaging with the characters on stage are encouraged. 

Character Breakdown:
The following is a detailed breakdown of the roles in The Rocky Horror Show, along with specific vocal ranges. The given ranges are approximate and may vary. Some characters may have a wider range or specific requirements for certain songs. There will also be understudy positions available for this production. This show contains moments of intimacy and other adult situations. An intimacy coordinator will be on staff.

USHERETTE / MAGENTA: Female presenting, Age Flexible (Range: Mezzo-Soprano Belt, Bb3-Eb5). She opens the production singing “Science Fiction/Double Feature” with Columbia and phantom chorus and then reappears at the end to sing a reprise of that song. Magenta is a domestic from the planet Transsexual, in the galaxy Transylvania. Her job is simple: keep the castle clean, wait on Frank hand and foot, and cater to his every whim. Magenta is fond of her brother, Riff Raff, and can be seen laughing at the other's misery. She is close friends with Columbia. Magenta is not afraid to put her foot down to get her point across and will be pushy or rude to get what she wants.

BRAD: Male presenting, 18-35 (Range: Bari Tenor, Bb2-G4).

Quirky and overly optimistic at times. An All-American male stereotype who proposes to his girlfriend, Janet Weiss. However, on the way to meet his old friend and science teacher, Dr. Scott, Brad Majors ends up with a flat tire on his car. He soon finds himself at the mercy of Dr. Frank N Furter and his servants, and ends up confused over his own sexuality after the events in the castle. This character will appear in various states of undress.

JANET: Female presenting, 18-35 (Range: Mezzo-Soprano Belt, A3-Eb5).

Good, innocent All-American girl who is madly in love with Brad. Always seems to be frightened of something. This is a story of Janet coming into her own power. During her time in the castle, she has encounters with both Frank N. Furter and Rocky. In the end, she's also confused about what has occurred, but she also finds her voice and identity. This character will appear in various states of undress.

NARRATOR: Age and Gender Flexible (Range: Non-Singing Role).

Follows our two heroes through the story by narrating directly to the audience. A Vincent Price-type horror narrator. 

RIFF RAFF: Male Presenting, Age Flexible (Range: High Rock Tenor, D3-B4). Frank's personal butler, Riff Raff, is a shady character who seems to be up to something. In the end, he kills Frank, Rocky, and Columbia before he and his sister Magenta return to their home planet of Transsexual, Transylvania. Heavy metal rock-and-roll vibes.

USHERETTE/ COLUMBIA: Female presenting, Age Flexible (Range: Mezzo-Soprano Belt, E4-E5).

One of Frank’s servants. A groupie from the party lifestyle who is both Frank's and Eddie's ex-girlfriend. She starts off as being extremely loyal to Frank. Though, she quickly realizes that he's simply using her and turns on him. In the end, she's killed by Riff Raff. Tap skills are an asset.

FRANK 'N' FURTER: 25-45 (Range: Baritone, D3-G4). Frankenfurter is a sexually fluid character who presents as Male. Frank enjoys dressing in traditionally feminine attire. Master of the castle and of seduction. Welcomes Janet and Brad with open arms. Frank is a Mad Scientist bent on creating the "perfect man," and he succeeds in doing so by creating Rocky. Everyone’s most fabulous and sinister villain, causing all sorts of trouble for Brad and Janet. In the end, he's killed by Riff Raff. This character may appear onstage in various states of undress.

ROCKY: Male, Very Fit (Range: Tenor, A3-G4) Frank's beloved creation, naive, sweet, and simple, Rocky is supposed to be the "perfect man." However, things don't go well when Janet seduces him, causing Frank to go into a jealous rage. In the end, he's killed by Riff Raff while mourning the loss of Frank and trying to escape. This character may appear onstage in various states of undress.

EDDIE/DR. SCOTT: Male presenting, Age Flexible (Range: Baritone, E3-F#4) A former delivery boy who was Columbia's ex-boyfriend. Half of his brain was used to create Rocky - he is a zombie. After escaping from the freezer (and singing a song), Eddie is promptly killed by Frank. Dr. Scott is Brad’s former science professor and close friend. He ends up at the castle while looking for his nephew, Eddie. He is usually played with a German accent.
