A new staging of a little something called The Rocky Horror Picture Show is hitting NYC imminently (as in two days from now) and Vogue has the first pictures of its big sexy cast, led by the one and only noted Luke Evans in the fishnets as Dr. Frank N. Furter. For those of you who only know Luke from his action-hero roles in movies like The Hobbitses and that Furious movie he was in -- or from his greatest role as "The guy who got his dick cut by Ma in Ma" -- our man Luke got his start singing on the stage in that Boy George musical in London (indeed that was where he gave the interview talking about being gay that he then tried to bury for several years as he tried to do the action-hero thing in Hollywood until finally coming out properly, again) -- point being no need to worry, he can sing. I guess those of you who saw the live-action Beauty and the Beast movie knew that too -- I only made it about 20 minutes into that abomination before I had to turn it off. Anyway! Luke's not the only hottie in this thing...
... as the dream man of the title is being played by West Side Story hunk Josh Rivera, fitting the role of "dream man" to a tee. Lord almighty, just look at him. Anyway I've never been huge on Rocky Horror, which isn;'t to say I don't like it -- as far as musicals go it's one I can and have watched several times and enjoyed.I just continue being a person who doesn't go seeking out musicals to watch when I need something to watch, it just can't be helped. But if somebody needs a plus one I'd go see this. It also stars the wonderful Harvey Guillén and Rachel Dratch and Stephanie Hsu and Juliette Lewis and on and on, it's quite the cast y'all. Hit the jump for a couple more photos of them...

I'm nervous because I saw Sam Pinkleton's production of La Cage aux Folles and it's one of the worst things I've ever seen... but I also already have my tickets bought cuz that cast.
