His days of playing Hedwig may be behind him, but singer-songwriter iOTA isn’t hanging up his fishnet stockings just yet. The Hedwig and the Angry Inch star will play Dr Frank N Furter in a new production of the acclaimed rock musical, The Rocky Horror Show.
If his Helpmann Award-winning turning as Hedwig is any indication, iOTA is sure to bring the necessary flamboyance to the outrageous role.
He’ll be ably assisted by caberet star Paul Capsis, who plays Riff Raff, and Dusty’s Tamsin Carroll, as Magenta.
Mama Mia star Kellie Rode will star as the squeaky-clean Janet, while Michael Cormick will play Eddie and Dr Scott.
The freaks, sex, and rock and roll of The Rocky Horror Show come to Sydney’s Star City Casino next February. But don’t worry if you live outside New South Wales. The show should visit other major centers after its Sydney run.
