Luke Evans is officially entering the world of Broadway.
In a new interview with PEOPLE Magazinethe 46-year-old actor opened up about preparing for his Broadway debut in The Rocky horror showwhich will premiere in March 2026.
For those unfamiliar, Evans will star as the iconic Dr. Frank-N-Furter in the Roundabout Theater Company revival, a role famously brought to life by Tim Curry in the 1975 film. The Rocky Horror Photo Show.
“I always wanted to do Broadway, I just didn’t think I’d be wearing stilettos and fishnets,” Evans admitted.
“I just didn’t think it would be like this, but it is, and I will be, and I’m very excited about it.”
As the first preview approaches on March 26, 2026, Evans revealed that he is still experimenting with different interpretations of the character, fully aware of Frank-N-Furter’s cultural weight.
“It’s a role I’m very aware of,” he said.
“Culturally, it’s part of all our lives. You can’t get away from the music. Everyone knows at least one song from the show.”
Evans emphasized that while his take on Frank-N-Furter will honor the legacy, it will also stand firmly on its own.
“To bring it to life, my version of Frank-N-Furter – which will be different and unique – is special,” he said, adding that performances at Studio 54 make the experience even more fitting.
“It’s the most perfect thing for this show, which is about fluidity and a sense of ‘don’t dream about it, be it, be yourself, whatever you are,’” Evans explained.
“To do it in a place where hedonism was the norm, I think it’s the perfect home for that.”
