“Sweet Transvestite” from The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let’s Do the Time Warp Again, performed by Laverne Cox as Dr. Frank-N-Furter with Ryan McCartan as Brad, premiered Friday on VanityFair.com. Listen above.
“I had a conversation [with director] Kenny [Ortega]. We talked about the word ‘transvestite,’ ” the Emmy nominee tells Vanity Fair. “That term was once an acceptable way to describe a transgender person who had not completed their medical transition; now,” Cox says, “it is an antiquated term that trans folks certainly don’t use anymore.”
The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let’s Do the Time Warp Again will air Thursday, Oct. 20 (8:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT) on FOX – watch the trailer below. The soundtrack was produced by Grammy Award-nominated songsmith Cisco Adler, who has brought new arrangements and a contemporary touch to the classic numbers. The soundtrack will be released on executive producer Lou Adler’s Ode Sounds & Visuals, as was the original movie soundtrack.
