"Columbia is the ultimate superfan."From: NewNowNext
Fox’s upcoming Rocky Horror Picture Show reboot has some inspired casting—including Laverne Cox as Dr. Frank N. Furter, Adam Lambert as Eddie, and Broadway belle Annaleigh Ashford as Columbia.
Ashford has starred in Great White Way musicals including Wicked, Legally Blonde, and Kinky Boots, but playing that “Number One Frankie Fan” meant shaking up her image.
Columbia isn’t just in love with Eddie and Dr. Frank N. Furter, says William Ivey Long, the show’s Tony-winning costume designer, she’s the world’s biggest Rocky Horror devotee, complete with a homemade costume that pays homage to the original.
“Columbia is the ultimate superfan,” says Long. “She’s sort of our spirit guide into this world.”
Watch The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let’s Do The Time Warp Again, October 20 at 8/7c on Fox.
