Tim Curry

On stage 6 productions, 30 years

Each row is a staging this name appears in the cast list of, read from the production record rather than from the person record. The person record names works instead, and a work cannot say which run somebody was in — that is how Elaine Stritch ends up filed under Show Boat 1927 when she was in the 1994 revival. No row here says what part was played, because no cast list records it.

Worked with more than once6 names

Both names in the same cast list, more than once. It is not evidence of a partnership — a long-running company puts the same forty people together every night — but it is where one would start looking. 1 of these names are not links because we hold no record behind them; the name is set from the identifier and its punctuation may be wrong.

Also credited on2 works

Monty Python’s Spamalot
The Pirates Of Penzance

These come off the person record, which names a work and not a production. So we can say this name is attached to the work and we cannot say which staging, or in what capacity. For a composer or a writer that is the whole career we hold; there is no cast list to find them in.

• While the likes of Richard O’Brien, Tim Curry, Rayner Bourton and Patricia Quinn – all present at the show’s inception – have often aired their views and had the chance to recall their Rocky Horror memories, we realised that so many of the show’s other (lesser known but no less integral) collaborators had never been heard; and, as devoted…ebooks/Bagnall, Rob/Still the Beast is Feeding_ 40 Years of Rocky Horror - Rob Bagnall & Phil Barden.txt
• Recycled from another production it may have been, but expert opinion will never be required in order to point out which of Tim Curry’s stage personas made that corset a theatrical fashion icon.ebooks/Bagnall, Rob/Still the Beast is Feeding_ 40 Years of Rocky Horror - Rob Bagnall & Phil Barden.txt
• Along with a suggestion of drug addiction emphasised by crossed Band-aids on his inner arms, Tim Curry’s Frank also displayed a couple of faux tattoos.

• In the BBC Radio 2 documentary Let’s Do the Time Warp Again , Tim Curry remembered Jim Sharman taking his cast to see Beyond the Valley of the Dolls , a lurid 1970 offering by celebrated director of American sleaze Russ Meyer.

• Even now, Sinclair is amusingly and light-heartedly open about one of her fondest memories of appearing in the production: ‘Having Tim Curry on top of me was pretty damned good,’ she giggles, with more than a hint of Janet’s coquettish wickedness, ‘Tim was unique.

• ‘ So thank you Britt, and I guess thank you British Airways for the delay,’ Adler’s 1990 box set notes concluded. ‘Because Richard O’Brien, not Tim Curry, played the lead that night and I didn’t even notice how skinny his legs were in high heels.

What this page does not know

• What this person played. No cast list we hold records a character against a performer.
• Which of the credits above the roles on this record — actor — apply to. The roles sit on the person and never on a credit, so a director who also acted looks the same here as one who did not.
