“I grew up watching Rocky Horror, but could never imagine that I would be part of this new vision,” Lambert said in a statement. “Rocky Horror always made me feel like it was ok to celebrate my weirdness. Hallelujah, bless my soul! I love that old time rock-n-roll!”
On Twitter, Lambert wrote excitedly, “I’m going to be in ROCKY HORROR!!! Woohoooo.”
“HOT PATOOTIE!” the American Idol runner-up tweeted later.

It’s also been announced that Curry has signed on to come on board the project as the Criminologist Narrator.
