Season 1 Review: Cox not only plays the central character of Dr. Frank N Furter, but she also nearly takes complete ownership of the entire production and would succeed if it weren’t for terrific work by the other cast members. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Movie-izing the event showcases the vibrant production, but at the cost of spontaneous live energy, which would have better served this manic musical. The cast is nonetheless astounding. [21/28 Oct 2016, p.95] Read full review

Season 1 Review: Cox gets the job done in high vamp mode, even if her singing chops aren’t always quite up to par. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Ortega and company could have risked sacrilege and messed around more with “Rocky Horror,” not only trimming its length and improving its plot, but perhaps also teasing some new relevance out of the material. As it is, they’ve made a fresh copy, but it plays very much like a copy and nothing more. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Dueling impulses—wanting this to be as bad as the script, but also wanting everyone to do a good job—make for a bifurcated experience. The spirit is there among performers, but they’re almost too good, calling attention to the fact that the fun of Rocky Horror seems to be the camaraderie among fellow fans, not the doggerel that’s up on the screen.

Season 1 Review: It’s not freaky, or scary, or erotic, or even particularly weird. It’s just a kind of boring musical with a particularly nonsensical plot. The highlight is Laverne Cox, who plays Frank-N-Furter, the role made deliciously creepy by Tim Curry. Cox is the strongest performer in the production, and she has much of the necessary screen presence and vocal timbre to stand out in the middle of the mediocre spectacle. Read full review

The Daily Beast Kevin Fallon

Oct 20, 2016

Season 1 Review: The storytelling, clearly, isn’t the point. It’s about the feeling of Rocky Horror and, as the film took on this cult second life, the audience who is feeling it. But with this Fox production, it’s unclear who the intended audience is. Read full review

Downright awful. The cast is uninspired and it feels like they're making fun of the original. Not in a laughing with tribute type of making fun but in an insulting way. They managed to take everything that made Rocky Horror great and screw it up. They missed the point entirely. A PC RockyDownright awful.
