Andy Patrick He was in the original play when it was in Australia 30 years ago. He has played many characters over the 30 year run around the world, and this isn't his first run as Frank ether.
Just seen rocky horror show at the comedy theatre in Melbourne 2015 absolutely loved every minute of it would highly recommend everyone to see it. Loved the characters and all the music brings back memories of when I last saw it at least 20 years ago. Love love love it
I think watching this on film is very different to live. If I had only seen this on youtube I would say it was shit but watching it as a live theatre was completely different. I enjoyed it live. It was fun and carefree and just a good night. I mean this was for live theatre not to be watched over youtube.
I had a hunch this would be bad, but didn't think it would be this dreadful. Craig looked and acted like a slightly camp footy player in tights, and was completely unconvincing as Dr, Frankenfurter. An the others were fairly weak. Matching the original is a tough call, but nup, that was shitful.
my problem with this was the way they got the emphasis of the songs wrong. The bits that should have been really sold were half hearted and the bits that needed understating were sung with a operatic note. They have mic's they can be understated I don't understand why they would need to do it they way they did. Then again maybe it works in person in a way that never could with a video because we would always just compare it to Tim Curry's performance and the movie
@@Ermmmm...79 If you have a problem with someone differing from you on an opinion then... don't read it? See whst I did there? Hurrdurrr. Owned, snowflake.
MusicCrew41 Yeah but, somehow Tim Curry is the only sweet transvestite that does it for me :P all well, I guess lots of people have many different preferences :)
I love everything about this!! Excluding Frank's singing, all that emphasis is going to the wrong words and ugh. There's just no sensuality in it. :( How disappointing. Love, love, love Columbia though!
You know that the movie is NOT the original source material right? There was a stage production. Then the movie. They rearranged some parts for the movie, even took out some songs. The stage show is more accurate than the movie.
I loved this cast!!! I saw it at the festival theater in Adelaide (Richard O'Brien as the Narrator) and if I could, I would go back in time and watch it again!!! Fantastically Fabulous!!!
I have never before seen a performer more adored than Craig as Frankenfurter. I asked staff if it was like this every night. They said it was. It doesn't translate here on youtube.
I went to this show at the Comedy Theatre Melbourne last night. I haven't laughed so much in decades! We had front row seats... well worth every penny. Craig, you are awesome!! Depite your advancing years, your tush is just as sexy as it ever was. You shocked me... and I enjoyed every second
Oh dear. I love Craig, and I'm a MASSIVE fan of Rocky Horror but this is dire. Cannot beat Tim Curry in this role, but Anthony Stewart Head comes a close second, IMO. I see that loads of people are saying this was only a dress rehearsal and not as good as the actual show so does anyone have any clips of it?
Jayne Hodge haha i love tim and Anthony in this role and i never thought any one else could do it but omg Craig does it! i put him up there with tim curry the show is hysterical! go see it!
People who haven't seen the show may say they don't think Craig is suitable for Frank, however once you actually go and see it, you see that he plays it brilliantly. This preview doesn't give him justice, he is perfect for the role.
I went and saw this multiple times and I just have to say that I LOVED EVERY SINGLE PERFORMANCE!! It was so amazing, Craig and the cast did such a fabulous job! They definitely deserved the standing ovation on the last day!!!! I went and saw the last performance a few years ago and that doesn't even begin to compare to this years one!!!
I am so glad I didn't pay money to see this. That music sounds so "canned" like it's run off a MIDI sequencer. Seriously, I could play these instruments better, jeez, I could MIX this better. Add some BASS!
For everyone complaining about this version of Frank N Furter: if you saw him live you would see how bloody brilliant he was. I saw him in Adelaide and it's one of the highlights of my life, the entire cast was simply amazing
Craig sounds nasally like me when I have a flu or hay fever. When he sang "satanic me-chany-yak" at 5:43 he just sounded stupid. I think he must be pretty full of himself to go so far with the OTT performance that's nothing like the original (plus he needed to lose a little weight so he could hold a note).
The Time Warp was awesome, Sweet Transvestite was a waste of time. RIP Sweet Transvestite, for you were murdered by this fake Frankie :( PLUS, this Frank Furter reminds me of Norm Macdonald.
I was wondering why this wasn't any where near as good as what I saw in person. It was a dress rehearsal, the reason I know this is because their costumes are incomplete. They obviously haven't put as much effort into this dress rehearsal as they do in the show as the show was absolutely amazing. So don't judge these performers by this because they are fantastic in the show as they have an audience to perform too.
Ok I really don't see why everyone has hate on them do you not see how much effort they put in it and they were only warming up to the environment and also do you not realizes that they are still doing this exact Performance still when I'm typing this and they have improved on this but I went through go these comments and not one is a complement and that's what I'm m gunnu say. This Musial is one of the best musicals by far and people need to see that they have improved from last year and if you see them live like I did today then your mind will be blown
Watching these clips before seeing it in May this year (2014), I was quite apprehensive. After attending the show, I must say this footage of this production does it no justice. I enjoyed every moment of this show, and that's quite an achievement as I've been a fan(atic) of the film since the age of 4 and can be perhaps too critical of renditions of Rocky. Can't wait to see it again in July 2015!
I watched this last night craig Mclachlan was fantastic. He made the show when he interacted with the audience, so funny. It's all about how involved the audience is to the great experience.
I saw the show a couple of days ago and I absolutely loved it. I went in with no preconceived opinions about what I though it should be like or how the cast should play their roles. I just went and I really enjoyed it. And I thought Craig stole the show for me. He was brilliant.
This is so so incredible live. Craig McLachlan is honestly rivaling my adoration for Tim Curry as Dr. Frank-N-Furter in the film. Have to add this to my favourites so I dont ever forget how he did my favourite Rocky Horror song!! But honestly, both of these songs are good here, but so much better live, I strongly suggest anyone who can go see the Australian tour to do so, because this video honestly doesn't give the performance justice.
***** omg I saw the ads on tv and snips like this and seriously considered not going i hated it last round 6 years ago and just thought it couldn't be done by any one other than Tim Curry and i really thought craig Mclachlan was the wrong person for the job, BUT live OMG Craig is AMAZING!!!!!! the show is hilarious! i absolutely loved it i would highly recommend every one goes and sees it! i hope to see it again before it finishes i just loved it so much!
Absolutely loved this show! I've seen so many musicals and this one was by far the best! So much charisma and Craig McLaughlin was just perfect! 10/10 for sure!
I love the orchestrations of sweet transvestite, but I'm not a huge fan of the way he plays the role, and I think his hair and make up looks terrible! (sorry) although, listening to previous Australian cast recordings,it seems the Australian Franks are all very VERY OTT haha perhaps that plays to an Australian audience better?
In Sweet Tranvestite I feel like it could have been better. I think the actor was trying to do the Tim Curry impression on him. David Baddella (I think I spelled his name wrong) said that when he was playing Frank N. Furter he had to put his on spin on it so he went as far away from the Tim Curry accent as possible and made a new voice. I think the actor was trying to hard at the accent instead of making it his own performance.
Not only is this done completely wrong and is ear-splitting level awful, but they didn't to the bit at the end where Frank goes "So, come up to the lab.... And see what's on the slab..." They seriously cut out one of the bet parts of the whole song! I am not shivering with antici..... pation, I am shivering because of how TERRIBLE this performance was! Never again....... Tim Curry and the original cast members cannot ever me matched, but these people could at least try a bit harder. Just my opinion.
***** Oh OK! Thanks, lol. I'm not a mean person, I'm just very protective of my rocky horror haha. But how could they cut such an amazing line out of the video!? Smh
Kimberly Coffman Haha nah I know what you mean, I was thinking the same thing when I watched this video, but I was relieved when I went and saw the show and yeah they kept the line in :P
Melbourne version of this show and Melbourne casting with David Badella is way better and surpasses this Adelaide version. Highly recommend watching the David Badella version. Closest performance to Tim Curry! So much fun!
I was excited to see this if it ever came to Sydney this year but after watching this and having seen the movie and 2008 show with Iota as Franknfurta I don't know now. I like Dave as Dr Blake in the Doctor Blake Mysteries but even an amatur (excuse spelling) theatre company could have done it better.
I feel like they might have tried a bit much to make him have a "strange" accent....but he was just too casual for the part. His movements didnt seem very intentional, it felt almost improvised blocking wise.
I saw the rocky horror picture show a few days ago and Craig Mcluachlan (FrankenFerta) was amazing (better then in here) I can tell you from experience that if you were to see the show live it would be 50× better then this
Familiar with this show by my little brother. Excuse me, but isn't this actor playing Frankenfurter a Queen? Isn't that what is different? Of course, Curry was classic.
Видеоклипы
Good lord - that was like if any of our dads were cast as Frank-N-Furter...
When the doctor took the cape off, was anyone else taken about at how jacked he was? He should have been Rocky.
Andy Patrick He was in the original play when it was in Australia 30 years ago. He has played many characters over the 30 year run around the world, and this isn't his first run as Frank ether.
Yes, I saw the show and the program has a history of the show in Australia, and it said that he was Frank, but never Rocky
I can't be the only one who thought the sweet transvestite portion was terrible, right?
No it was pretty bad
William Leitch it was awful. soz
No especially with what has come out about him just recently about this show. Disgusting.
Fade Away and Radiate what came out about this show??
He like shouted the whole song. Didn't even try to give good vocals.
Just seen rocky horror show at the comedy theatre in Melbourne 2015 absolutely loved every minute of it would highly recommend everyone to see it. Loved the characters and all the music brings back memories of when I last saw it at least 20 years ago. Love love love it
David baddella and Tim curry best ones
Preach
I like Oliver Thornton 2
Yeah, You're right!
Noone does it like Tim ;)
Anthony Styles Also Peter Blake was incredible.
It was really good but I was quite disappointed by the beginning of sweet transvestite. I didn't feel like it worked
Kierra Henderson it was SO much better recently.
this frank was an awful idea. bad. bad. nope. can't deal.
"Well baybehz don't you panyiak" hahahhaa🤣🤣🤣
Why is it so calm and quiet ? We need more fun and madness for these songs.
Isn’t this the press reel?
@@vicentehizon6202 your mom’s the press reel
@@taquitobandito6054 well, that’s just insulting
Wow, the Columbia interpretation was really great!
Saw the show last night in Melbourne. Great cast. Craig the king of ad-lib... Hilariously funny. Fantastic night.
I think watching this on film is very different to live. If I had only seen this on youtube I would say it was shit but watching it as a live theatre was completely different. I enjoyed it live. It was fun and carefree and just a good night. I mean this was for live theatre not to be watched over youtube.
Can we all remember that Richard O'Brian was in the Adelaide cast and he chose Craig for this role.
I was enjoying this until Craig McLachlan made his appearance. It was all downhill from there. :-(
thejollyjumbuck he was brilliant on the night
He sounds too nasally for me.
Em Dee he doesn’t open his eyes
Agreed. Frank is too masculine, needs full-on feminist.
He’s a bit too young for Frank...I think that he would fit brad more honestly.
I guess this is last time Craig Maclachlin was playing the role.
I had a hunch this would be bad, but didn't think it would be this dreadful. Craig looked and acted like a slightly camp footy player in tights, and was completely unconvincing as Dr, Frankenfurter. An the others were fairly weak. Matching the original is a tough call, but nup, that was shitful.
my problem with this was the way they got the emphasis of the songs wrong. The bits that should have been really sold were half hearted and the bits that needed understating were sung with a operatic note. They have mic's they can be understated I don't understand why they would need to do it they way they did.
Then again maybe it works in person in a way that never could with a video because we would always just compare it to Tim Curry's performance and the movie
Great to see Kristian Lavercombe as Riff Raff =) but really surprised at Craig Mclachlan, thouhgt he could sing better than that!
What the hell? How did they let that singing happen?
Stop hating. If you have a problem don’t watch it
@@Ermmmm...79 If you have a problem with someone differing from you on an opinion then... don't read it? See whst I did there? Hurrdurrr. Owned, snowflake.
This is what happens when 28 year old hipsters take over live theater- they know so much better you see.
IOTA from the 2008/2009 production will forever be legendary. Puts this clown to shame.
Woof. Not a fan of that Frank.
TheHarlequinHatter same
They're all incredibly good, but STOP OVERSINGING!
The sheet music calls for it.
Sorry, nobody beats Tim Curry.
MrPjw5 You sir cannot be more right :) Tim Curry FTW!
+Moana Rogers-Campbell hate to saay this but davidd bandella is better than tim curry at least he bring the song to life where as tim couldnt
MusicCrew41 Yeah but, somehow Tim Curry is the only sweet transvestite that does it for me :P all well, I guess lots of people have many different preferences :)
MusicCrew41 YOU can't beat the original.... david is fantastic in his own way, but Tim Curry was the first and the best
tim played himself not Frank , when David played Frank not himself that's how Tim's is better
I love everything about this!! Excluding Frank's singing, all that emphasis is going to the wrong words and ugh. There's just no sensuality in it. :( How disappointing. Love, love, love Columbia though!
Saw this last night - laughed SO hard. Craig was hilarious.. he pranced everywhere.
agree, i saw it last night aswell
I totally agree,
Oh dear god. No. Just NO.
At least it's not the "Frank" from LDTTWA
6:18 MAJOR WTF.
WTF.
It's like they read the script without any awareness of the source material ...
Teeennsssiooooon!
You know that the movie is NOT the original source material right? There was a stage production. Then the movie. They rearranged some parts for the movie, even took out some songs. The stage show is more accurate than the movie.
RogerEstradaTV still Tims movie performance MADE Frankfurter I mean come on
Check out the original recordings fron the show or David Bedella's version..that is hoe the original song went.
This needs more Tim Curry...
Tim Curry's legs were much nicer?
Or even David Bedella
If you can't have Tim Curry, David Bedella is the best there is!
I agree
Or Anthony Stewart Head !
I agree
Or Todd McKenney
Or Terrence Mann
I loved this cast!!! I saw it at the festival theater in Adelaide (Richard O'Brien as the Narrator) and if I could, I would go back in time and watch it again!!! Fantastically Fabulous!!!
Me too. I was in the second row in Adelaide in 2014. Cast were stunning.
that cast was stunning.
me too
the people that chose this frank must have been deff
and blind 😂
And deaf
Loved it, happy to go back over and over
Wow! No better than a high-school version.
Where’s the energy?, He’s a bad Frank. He assaulted actors on stage.
I have never before seen a performer more adored than Craig as Frankenfurter. I asked staff if it was like this every night. They said it was. It doesn't translate here on youtube.
the way brad say "we don't want to be any worry" is so cute
Columbia is good, and of course Kristian Lavercomb as Riff Raff nails it as usual.
I went to this show at the Comedy Theatre Melbourne last night. I haven't laughed so much in decades! We had front row seats... well worth every penny. Craig, you are awesome!! Depite your advancing years, your tush is just as sexy as it ever was. You shocked me... and I enjoyed every second

but omg Craig does it! i put him up there with tim curry
the show is hysterical! go see it!
I can't, I'm in London, UK. Would love to go though, if it's ever over here!
the critics reviews are time warped. you guys get on the stage and try it......it's good.....thanks for posting
I seen the show in Belfast and the guy playing Frank was a chap called Liam Tamne. You can find him on youtube
+16shogunelitegreen Belfast resident here, was raging I couldn't go :(
***** OMG really? God that's a bitch! If only they were on an extra week
Trained at the same dance school as Liam... he's fantastic in every way!!!👌🏼 Brilliant as Frank!!🤩 xx
People who haven't seen the show may say they don't think Craig is suitable for Frank, however once you actually go and see it, you see that he plays it brilliantly. This preview doesn't give him justice, he is perfect for the role.

For everyone complaining about this version of Frank N Furter: if you saw him live you would see how bloody brilliant he was. I saw him in Adelaide and it's one of the highlights of my life, the entire cast was simply amazing
Ah yes, the infamous Craig and his Rocky Horror performance.
Craig sounds nasally like me when I have a flu or hay fever. When he sang "satanic me-chany-yak" at 5:43 he just sounded stupid. I think he must be pretty full of himself to go so far with the OTT performance that's nothing like the original (plus he needed to lose a little weight so he could hold a note).
This is the scariest video I have ever seen.
I don't like this Frank's singing style.
Really? I think it's awesome!
I hated
I can't believe that he was Kane Morgan on Mcleod's Daughters... I am collecting my jaw from the floor right now...
It reminds me of the way footy is played in the AFL these days.
The Time Warp was awesome, Sweet Transvestite was a waste of time. RIP Sweet Transvestite, for you were murdered by this fake Frankie :( PLUS, this Frank Furter reminds me of Norm Macdonald.
the show never ends. I like this post
I went to this last year for my birthday and I really enjoyed it

The best ever Rocky
ok vocals omg I reaLLY LOVE HIS VOICE
It makes me feel like dancing! :)
I saw this yesterday and I enjoyed it
I feel like the actress playing Magenta was method acting as an actual alien
I think she tried to sing the sing like the OG Magenta, Patricia Quinn, but she just came off really awkward
Great dance scenes 😁
Saw this in 2015 in Melbourne. Love Craig so much 🥺❤️
I saw the show a couple of days ago and I absolutely loved it. I went in with no preconceived opinions about what I though it should be like or how the cast should play their roles. I just went and I really enjoyed it. And I thought Craig stole the show for me. He was brilliant.
I went to this.... And I was the youngest person there 😓. I seriously think I was the only kid. It was really good, I enjoyed.
+budgie0003 how old were you
+Tia Reynolds 17 but still. (I don't look that age, I look around 14-16

I saw this last night and it was so good and Richard o'brien was the narrator
Nema Veze Not to his female cast members though by the sounds of it.
He was terrific!
This is good
EPIC
Absolutely loved this show! I've seen so many musicals and this one was by far the best! So much charisma and Craig McLaughlin was just perfect! 10/10 for sure!
I love the orchestrations of sweet transvestite, but I'm not a huge fan of the way he plays the role, and I think his hair and make up looks terrible! (sorry) although, listening to previous Australian cast recordings,it seems the Australian Franks are all very VERY OTT haha perhaps that plays to an Australian audience better?
I saw these videos before the actual show and I wasn't a fan of him, but then I saw the show and I loved him! He was hilarious :D
no not to australian audeinces, 75% of us would probably agree with you
I'm an Australian audience and fuck no. FUCK NO.
In Sweet Tranvestite I feel like it could have been better. I think the actor was trying to do the Tim Curry impression on him. David Baddella (I think I spelled his name wrong) said that when he was playing Frank N.

i liked it.
I am in love with this Columbia 🥺
This whole cast has a very comfortable and chill vibe but I love this columbia so much
It's supposed to be overreacted you fools -.- quit complaining! This is excellent!
Not only is this done completely wrong and is ear-splitting level awful, but they didn't to the bit at the end where Frank goes "So, come up to the lab.... And see what's on the slab..." They seriously cut out one of the bet parts of the whole song! I am not shivering with antici..... pation, I am shivering because of how TERRIBLE this performance was! Never again....... Tim Curry and the original cast members cannot ever me matched, but these people could at least try a bit harder. Just my opinion.
That line is in it, they just cut it out in this video. :)

***** Thank God I was like "BISH WHET!?"
(removed)
kristian's riff raff is incredible
Started with King Kong and haven't looked back. 'The Lion King' is in September and so looking forward to it.
Melbourne version of this show and Melbourne casting with David Badella is way better and surpasses this Adelaide version. Highly recommend watching the David Badella version. Closest performance to Tim Curry! So much fun!
But do people throw with things like in the movie?
Do they change all actors except Riff-Raff?
Saw Craig's high heel shoes today big gold ones
I was excited to see this if it ever came to Sydney this year but after watching this and having seen the movie and 2008 show with Iota as Franknfurta I don't know now. I like Dave as Dr Blake in the Doctor Blake Mysteries but even an amatur (excuse spelling) theatre company could have done it better.
WOW,WOW,WOW.... Did I say WOW yet.
I feel like they might have tried a bit much to make him have a "strange" accent....but he was just too casual for the part. His movements didnt seem very intentional, it felt almost improvised blocking wise.
riff raff sounds like Nathan lane camper as like in the birdcage
this show just can't be copied they nailed it the first time and yea..
That's the buffest frank n furter I've ever seen. Dude got leg for arms man.
who let this man on stage?
Sometimes if you have nothing nice to say say nothing at all and don’t ruin it for all that has enjoyed it.
This has to be one of those actors that paid to be in the show instead of being paid to be in the show lmao
Must of been some stage rehearsal because I'm pretty sure the audience would be going crazy! LOL
I saw the rocky horror picture show a few days ago and Craig Mcluachlan (FrankenFerta) was amazing (better then in here) I can tell you from experience that if you were to see the show live it would be 50× better then this
***** 50 times negative infinity is still negative infinity.....still shit
haha can't argue with that math XD still I'll never forget it and how amazing Craig Mcluachlan was live
Yeah same i saw it two days ago and he was fantastic
He wasn't amazing to his cast members though by the sounds of the recent allegations.
Tim é inigualável nesse papel..... só ele tem a masculinidade e elegância exatas para usar esses trages.
Familiar with this show by my little brother. Excuse me, but isn't this actor playing Frankenfurter a Queen? Isn't that what is different? Of course, Curry was classic.
I need someone like him at work
Why does this Frank look like Queen Elizabeth the First nearing her death?
I really love it, the differences and all, but was I the only one that noticed his eyes closed 90% of he song? Why?
