In bringing Rocky<\/em> to life, both designers drew inspiration from the Club Kids, those exuberant, fashion-obsessed personalities who ruled and fueled New York City\u2019s nightlife in the 1980s and \u201990s. They also wanted to pay tribute to the show\u2019s influence from and in drag culture, not solely acknowledging how the role of Frank-N-Furter defies gender norms, but also how Rocky<\/em> has introduced liberation to countless young people over the past 50 years.<\/p>\n \u201cDrag is so dependent on your self-expression that I wanted that to be communicated through [each performer\u2019s] makeup looks, so I wanted to give the actors the freedom to find those characters,\u201d Tull explains of the time they took with each performer to carefully uncover how these modern interpretations of famed characters would come to life. \u201c[Throughout the process], some looks were psychotic, some were pretty, some were total Club Kid clowncore, until we settled and found something that they really vibed with and wanted to apply on their face eight shows a week.\u201d<\/p>\n Evans in the makeup chair.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n That is abundantly clear in Evans\u2019s Frank-N-Furter, whose electrifying aesthetic is both reminiscent of the character\u2019s famous roots while also a complete departure from the famed source material. Gone are Tim Curry\u2019s colorless face palette and short curls, and in their place: bold, painted-on brows, seafoam green-glitter eyelids, and a wig so fabulous, Evans can\u2019t help but twirl its ends numerous times throughout the show (when he\u2019s feeling flirty, you know?).<\/p>\n \u201cThe first day I put Luke in Frank-N-Furter makeup, Sam told us to \u2018go really small,\u2019 and I said, \u2018Great!\u2019 And then I did not go very small; I went very Siouxsie Sioux, Club Kid drag\u2026and Luke loved<\/em> it,\u201d says Tull. According to Evans, it\u2019s his exaggerated brows and the \u201csharp, smoky intensity around the eyes\u201d that are key to his transformation, allowing him as Frank to \u201ccontrol the room, seduce everyone, and destroy people a little bit at the same time,\u201d he says. \u201cThere\u2019s something almost cinematic about this version of [Frank-N-Furter]\u2014beautiful, dangerous, and sexy.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In bringing Rocky to life, both designers drew inspiration from the Club Kids, those exuberant, fashion-obsessed personalities who ruled and fueled New York City\u2019s nightlife in the 1980s and \u201990s.
