The limited engagement is to play through June 21.
"It is music to my ears to hear that a cast of very fine actors is on its way to New York City in order to play let's dress-up and make-believe, sing and dance and uplift the hearts of all those who enjoy the gift of free-thinking and the pleasure of love," said Richard O'Brien, who penned the show's music, lyrics and book. "Break out the fishnets and let's have a party."
Tim Curry famously played the role of Frank-N-Furter in a 1975 film version of the sci-fi musical-comedy called The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
