The amazing cast includes pop stars (Adam Lambert as Eddie, pictured), theatrical royalty (Ben Vereen as Dr. Scott) and glamorous trans icon Laverne Cox in the role of a lifetime as Dr. Frank-N-Furter. Tim Curry (star of the original) will even make an appearance as the narrator. This is one time warp we can’t wait to do again. fox.com
