I'm glad that Adam is not playing Frank. Although I would love nothing better than to see him in a costume similar to the original one Tim Curry wore, it may not be the best career move. The Eddie part will be fabulous! IMHO.

That was a pic of the actors playing Brad and Janet, not Frank, although I'm sure Laverne Cox is also in rehearsal. They announced Laverne Cox as the lead many months ago, so they must have offered it to Adam even before then, before his calendar got so full. I'm sure if he had said yes, scheduling could have been arranged on both ends.madamimadam » Sun Jan 17, 2016 12:14 am wrote:I posted a pic in the RHPS thread that "Frank and Janet" are already in rehearsal...

You're right! I corrected my post... I blame lack of sleep...

IMHO, I'm convinced he & his team felt he HAD to turn it down, since it seems he's finally making some progress "repairing" his image and expanding his fan base in #MURICA after that "gasp" AMA performance. The Dr. FNF role, no matter how fabulous he would be, and how many awards he might win for it, would be polarizing for much of the American public.![]()

I was just having fun with the Adam-in-stockings image, but I agree, he wouldn't be comfortable, at least not at this stage in his life.bebeg » Sun Jan 17, 2016 7:12 pm wrote:I find it interesting that some of you are talking about the americans who would be offended if he did Frank. Those people aren't the audience for this show so they won't even be watching. The audience for Rocky Horror isn't offended by much.
I don't think offending or not offending people had anything to do with his decision to not do the part. I think he's been moving in a different direction and it's just not something he wants to do right now. And honestly, do any of you think he'd be comfortable wearing that costume? He's just now showing off his arms.....
I also think timing was an issue. The part of Eddie won't require him to be on set as much as Laverne will be playing Frank.
