Luke Evans Brings Frank-N-Furter to Life at 2026 Tony Awards

The 47-year-old Welsh actor took center stage at Radio City Music Hall on Sunday night, June 7, channeling Frank-N-Furter during a high-energy showcase of Richard O'Brien's The Rocky Horror Show at the 2026 Tony Awards in New York City.

Evans shared the spotlight with fellow cast members Rachel Dratch, Stephanie Hsu, Andrew Durand, Juliette Lewis, Harvey Guillen, and Amber Gray for the Tony-nominated production's performance.

The ensemble brought considerable star power to the evening, with multiple cast members vying for top honors. Evans competed for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical, while Dratch received a nomination for Best Featured Actress in a Musical. Hsu was in contention for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical.

The Rocky Horror Show itself was in the running for several awards, including Best Revival of a Musical, Best Scenic Design of a Musical, Best Costume Design of a Musical, Best Lighting Design of a Musical, Best Sound Design of a Musical, and Best Choreography.

Despite the show's strong presence throughout the evening's categories, the production did not secure any wins during the ceremony.

Earlier on the red carpet, Evans was photographed alongside his boyfriend as the cast arrived for the celebration of Broadway's finest.
