Character Breakdown. Note: All roles are available.

USHERETTE / MAGENTA: Female presenting, Age Flexible (Range: Mezzo Soprano
Belt, Bb3-Eb5) She opens the production singing “Science Fiction/Double
Feature”, with Usherette and phantom chorus and then reappears at the end
to sing a reprise of that song. Magenta is a domestic from the planet
Transsexual, in the galaxy Transylvania. Her job is simple, keep the castle
clean and prepare all meals. And wait on Frank hand and foot. Cater to his
every whim. Magenta is fond of her brother Riff Raff, and can be seen
laughing at the other's misery. She is close friends with Columbia. Magenta
is not afraid to put her foot down to get her point across, and will be
pushy or rude to get what she wants.

BRAD: Male presenting, stage age 18-35 (Range: Bari Tenor, Bb2-G4) Quirky
and overly optimistic at times. An All-American man who proposes to his
girlfriend Janet Weiss. However, on the way to meet his old friend and
science teacher, Dr. Scott, Brad Majors ends up with a flat tire on his
car. He soon finds himself at the mercy of Dr. Frank N Furter, his
servants, and ends up confused over his own sexuality after the events in
the castle.

JANET: Female presenting, stage age 18-35 (Range: Mezzo Soprano Belt,
A3-Eb5) Good, innocent girl who is madly in love with Brad. Always seems to
be frightened of something. Keeps losing more of her clothes throughout the
story. Emotionally weak and caves into pressure easily. During her time in
the castle, she has sex with both Frank N. Furter and Rocky...the latter
prompting pure rage from the former. In the end, she's also confused about
what has occurred, but also realizes the benefits of living a sexually
active life.

NARRATOR: Any genger, Age Flexible (Range: Non-Singing Role) Follows our
two hero’s through the story by narrating directly to the audience.

RIFF RAFF: Male presenting, Age Flexible (Range: High Rock Tenor, D3-B4)
Frank's personal butler, Riff Raff is a shady character who seems to be up
to something. In the end, he kills Frank, Rocky, and Columbia before he and
his sister Magenta return to their home planet of Transsexual,
Transylvania.

COLUMBIA: Female presenting, Age Flexible (Range: Mezzo Soprano Belt,
E4-E5) One of Frank’s servants. A groupie who is both Frank's and Eddie's
ex-girlfriend. She starts off as being extremely loyal to Frank. Though,
she quickly realizes that he's simply using her and turns on him. In the
end, she's killed by Riff Raff. Tap Dancing skills are an asset.

FRANK 'N' FURTER: Any gender (note: the script uses male pronouns), stage
age 25-45 (Range: Baritone, D3-G4) Master of the castle and of seduction.
Welcomes Janet and Brad with open arms. Frank is a Mad Scientist bent on
creating the "perfect man," which he succeeds in doing so by creating
Rocky. He's something of the antagonist, causing all sorts of trouble for
Brad and Janet. In the end, he's killed by Riff Raff.

ROCKY: Male presenting stage age 18-35, Very Fit, (Range: Tenor, A3-G4)
Frank's beloved creation, Rocky is supposed to be the "perfect man."
However, things don't go well when Janet seduces him causing Frank to go
into a jealous rage. In the end, he's killed by Riff Raff while mourning
the loss of Frank and trying to escape.

EDDIE/DR. SCOTT: Male, Age Flexible (Range: Baritone, E3-F#4) A former
delivery boy who was Columbia's ex-boyfriend. Half of his brain was used to
create Rocky. After escaping from the freezer (and singing a song), Eddie
is promptly killed by Frank. Dr. Scott is Brad’s former science teacher and
close friend. He ends up at the castle while looking for his nephew, Eddie.

PHANTOMS / USHERS / USHERETTES – TRANSILVANIANS (SATB)
4-6 performers of any age and identity who will sing and dance a lot.
Includes a lot of easy harmony singing.
