Richard Hutton stars as the infamous Dr. Frank 'N Furter, the "sweet transvestite from Tran-sexual-Transylvania!" Hutton transitions from recently playing the role of King Arthur in Lerner and Lowe's CAMELOT at Rivertown Repertory Theatre, into the high-heeled and fishnet stockings of Dr. Frank 'N Furter for THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW with JPAS! Hutton has been seen as the leading man on stages throughout the Big Easy including Tulane Summer Lyric, Le Petit Theatre and on the JPAS stages. This is the first role where he has worn three-inch high-heels and a bustier! Dr. Frank 'N Furter's motley crew of characters from another dimension include an array of the best New Orleans local talent.
