Capturing the raw, electrifying energy of Richard O'Brien's stage production as it translated to the silver screen, this LP became the definitive audio companion to a film that redefined audience participation and midnight-movie culture. Director Jim Sharman and producer Lou Adler brought the music to life with a cast that was equal parts theatrical and rock 'n' roll — and the result is an album that has never stopped selling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Artists\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe soundtrack features performances by the original film cast, led by \u003cstrong\u003eTim Curry\u003c\/strong\u003e in his breakout role as Dr. Frank-N-Furter — a performance so singular that it launched one of the most enduring careers in entertainment. \u003cstrong\u003eSusan Sarandon\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eBarry Bostwick\u003c\/strong\u003e lend earnest, wide-eyed charm as Janet and Brad, while \u003cstrong\u003eRichard O'Brien\u003c\/strong\u003e (the show's creator) brings ghoulish wit as Riff Raff.
