 Tim Curry’s “Rocky Horror” legacy honoured on Broadway as cast leads tribute after his death

Tim Curry’s legacy as Dr. Frank-N-Furter was honoured on Broadway Wednesday night, with the cast of “The Rocky Horror Show” dedicating their curtain call to the late actor.

Curry, who d!ed Tuesday at 80, originated the role of Frank-N-Furter in both the 1973 London stage production and the 1975 film “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.”

Paul Soileau, who currently plays Frank on Broadway, used the curtain call to remember the actor who first brought the character to life.

“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,” Soileau said.

The audience responded with applause before breaking into a “Tim! Tim! Tim!” chant.

Soileau also reflected on how Curry shaped the character, saying Richard O’Brien gave him the ingredients, but Curry created the version of Frank that resonated with generations.

“And somehow it resonated for this long with this many people in this room here right now,” he said.

He also rejected the idea that Curry left behind no children simply because he did not have children of his own.

“Obituaries always say that he didn’t have children. And that’s bulls–t, because he has so many children in this world,” Soileau said. “Tim Curry has more family than I think any of us could ever imagine.”

Soileau then brought Luke Evans, who was the first actor to play Frank in the current revival, and Scissor Sisters frontman Jake Shears, who takes over the role on Sept. 11, onto the stage.

The cast, including “Saturday Night Live” star Rachel Dratch, joined the three actors who have played Frank for a performance of “I’m Going Home” in honour of Curry.
