The Rocky Horror Show is getting a new spoken word album featuring the film's original stars Patricia Quinn (Magenta), Barry Bostwick (Brad Majors) and Nell Campbell (Columbia).

"After hearing it with such emphasis and seeing the direct impact it had on her, I knew a spoken word album needed to reach the masses," Stander said. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the movie. The Rocky Horror Show returns to Broadway in spring 2026, directed by Oh, Mary!'s Sam Pinkleton.
