becaue Jessa asked...

It's been awhile since I talked about this, but escapist_xbq is curious about the idea.

When I went ot see JC in Boston, the question came up about which song we would most like to see him cover. The obligatory Dusty Springfield songs came up and then I mentioned I would dearly love to hear him sing "Sweet Transvestite" from The Rocky Horror Picture Show and msktrnanny just about fell of her chair with sheer amusement-slash-joy.

This stuck in my mind for ages and I came up with the idea to completely recast it for an eventual stage production/benefit (ala "Anyone Can Whistle" and "Sweeney Todd" - minimal costumes and staging but full-on performance) if I should ever strike it big in the lottery. And I always had plans to do The Little Shop of Horrors as a sort of sequel using the others.

So without further ado, I give you:

The Rocky Horror Sparkly Show

JC Chasez - Dr. Frank N. Furter
Nick Carter - Brad Majors
Jessica Simpson - Janet Weiss
Kevin Richardson - The Narrator
AJ McLean - Riff Raff
Christina Aguilera - Columbia
Pink - Magenta
Jeff Timmons - Rocky
Joey Fatone - Eddie
Chris Kirkpatrick - Dr. Scott

and

The Little Shop of Pop Horrors

Howie Dorough - Seymour Krelbourn
Britney Spears - Audrey
Brian Litrell - Mr. Mushnik
Lance Bass - the voice of Audrey II
Justin Timberlake - Orin
Destiny's Child - The Urchins

But really, it's that Rocky Horror one all the way.

Justin Timberlake - Orin

THAT is perfect :)

It's even better when you think of who he's dating in the show.

heh. I'm sick.

That's kinda interestining, your picks for Rocky Horror.
I mean, JC's a great choice for frankenfurter, but Janet? Muewh? And columbia is almost the same. Perhaps you should switch christina and Jessica.

But either way, great idea.

In Rocky, I would cast Howie as Brad Majors, and Nick as Rocky, but other than that, this had me spewing soup over the keyboard.

I'd kill to see JC as Frank. I can't stand Jessica Simpson, thus she must go in my version and I agree with otherdeb that Nick would make a great Rocky.

Freaky Coincidence!

Wow, i just got a package with my newly Ebay (is evil) acquired 25th Anniversary Edition of the rocky Horror Picture Show and then I open my fiends list and there casting it with sparklies. Tis a good day!

I have thought about it to alot and will probably share them as well.

YAY!

Mericiful Heavens, HOWIE!! and Brit could use her real voice!

I'm still near hysterical at the thought of JC in that get-up!

[lincolnkw.livejournal.com]

I'm just curious exactly what it would take to convince him.

[msktrnanny.livejournal.com]

JC? Probably not much! [starts plans to bring it all to Challenge]

*dreams*

heh. Cooper and I hammered out some stuff for an AU where the guys all 'did' Rocky Horror at their local theater at the weekend midnight shows.... Elbow Sex! Elbow Sex!

Very very interesting!! Sparkle-casting is kind of a favorite pastime of mine, but this is *better*, because if you had the money, maybe you could make it *happen*!

You could make Nick Lachey Brad, and it'd work just as well. *g* Because Nick Carter as Rocky, BWAHAHAHHA!

Why am I not shocked where you put Justin? Why does everyone put him in such evil, evil roles? :dies:

But amusing, nonetheless. ;)

...

Random--Columbia is my fave. And if I was ever a skinny little twig, I'd find somewhere casting for the role and try out. Xtina would be interesting. ;) <3 it.

& JC as the Doc is great. Kudos.

[lincolnkw.livejournal.com]

I put Justin there for the voice (and the stunt casting against Britney), and he just didn't work elsewhere. Oh yes, that character also plays a bunch of other characters inthe show at later times.

Except that I would also cast him as Brad if Nick couldn't do it

[--karebear.livejournal.com]

A few points:
A) Fabulous because of the Britney thing.
B) I forgot about the millions of different characters at the end... like the plant sales guy? Totally cheesy. Cheesy = Justin. So good call on that one.
C)Your casts of both are amazingly awesome. I never would have thought of half of the perfection that you did.

:bows to you:
