After a disastrous run at the Belasco Theatre in 1975, which closed after just 45 performances, it would be over twenty-five years before The Rocky Horror Show returned to Broadway. The 688-seat Circle in the Square Theatre mounted this revival, with previews beginning October 19th, 2000 and an official opening on November 15th, 2000. Reactions from both audiences and critics were decidedly better this time around, and a cast album was recorded on March 12th, 2001 (without Joan Jett unfortunately) which was released to the public on May 15th, 2001. In the wake of the September 11th attacks however, three performances had to be cancelled and in the aftermath this already struggling show was not able to hold on. It closed on September 23rd, 2001 after 356 performances. A return ten-week engagement was then arranged, from October 30th, 2001 through January 6th, 2002, with another 81 performances before the show closed for good. The production received a number of award nominations: four Tony nominations (Best Revival of a Musical, Jordan Roth; Best Actor in a Musical, Tom Hewitt; Best Costume Design, David C. Woolard; Best Direction of a Musical, Christopher Ashley) and five Drama Desk Award nominations (Outstanding Revival of a Musical, Jordan Roth; Outstanding Actor in a Musical, Tom Hewitt; Outstanding Choreography, Jerry Mitchell; Outstanding Director of a Musical, Christopher Ashley; Outstanding Set Design of a Musical, David Rockwell).

	Over At The Frankenstein Place [reprise] (2001-11-18, featuring Sebastian Bach as Riff Raff) - 1 minute 7 seconds (352x260, 30 fps, 7.4 MB). Bootleg audience tape from the Broadway Cast of The Rocky Horror Show on November 18th, 2001. As is usual for such tapes, the quality is pretty terrible and there are people in the way periodically. Sebastian Bach (from Skid Row) joined the production as Riff Raff when it re-opened around Halloween 2001. They added this brief reprise of Over At The Frankenstein Place to the beginning of the second Act, just for him.
	Sweet Transvestite (2001-09-09, featuring Terrence Mann as Dr. Frank-N-Furter) - 4 minutes 7 seconds (540x404, 30 fps, 27.5 MB). Bootleg audience tape from the Broadway Cast of The Rocky Horror Show on September 9th, 2001 (just two days before certain other events in New York City). As is usual for such tapes, the quality is pretty terrible and there are people in the way periodically. Terrence Mann replaced Tom Hewitt as Dr. Frank-N-Furter from August 30th, 2001 through the end of the production. Other performers include Mark Price as Riff Raff, Daphne Rubin-Vega as Magenta, Aiko Nakasone as Columbia, Kristen Lee Kelly as Janet, and Jarrod Emick as Brad.

As is usual for such tapes, the quality is terrible and there are people in the way periodically. But it's likely the only way most of us will be able to see or hear any of Joan Jett's performance as Columbia, as she was unfortunately not part of the cast album. The usual Columbia tap dance here is replaced by a Joan Jett guitar solo. Other performers include Raúl Esparza as Riff Raff, Daphne Rubin-Vega as Magenta, Kristen Lee Kelly as Janet, Jarrod Emick as Brad, and Dick Cavett as the Narrator.
