The FOX premiere of The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let's Do The Time Warp Again is right around the corner — October 20, to be exact!
To get us pumped for the premiere, the production has released Laverne Cox's rendition of one of the show's most iconic songs, the Dr. Frank-N-Furter showstopper, "Sweet Transvestite." Originally played by the inimitable Tim Curry, Cox certainly has some big heels to fill.

    

Give the new song a listen and let us know how you think she did!
