O’BRIEN: It was far more stylized when we first started. The movie turned Frank-N-Furter glamorous. He wasn’t. We weren’t. It was much more expressionistic, you know, ghoulish, more gothic in a sense, and dirty, perhaps. But the weird thing was that this creature [Frank-N-Furter] would strut down the aisle and the women in the audience found him attractive. That was a change in social understanding, because that was a surprise to all of us as well. And not only that, the chap sitting next to the woman would go, “I see what you mean.”

CURRY: I wasn’t skin-deep gorgeous. I was gorgeous in attitude. And I was gorgeous, I think, in a certain kind of courage. It took a certain amount of courage to do the show in the first place, let alone translating it to New York. But then I started going to Elaine’s, and that was my shelter. I used to go up to 88th Street and hide at Elaine’s and eat the veal chop.
