A select group of San Diego Comic-Con attendees got a special surprise on Thursday when they were treated to a screening of the first 25 minutes of the TV movie, which revealed a number of differences from the original, along with the performances of "Time Warp" and "Sweet Transvestite." According to Entertainment Weekly, the adaptation has a bit of a meta opening. It kicks off at a movie theater, which has an audience watching and interacting with a showing of the movie just like the IRL midnight screenings that happen each year, like yelling at the screen, and putting newspapers over their heads when Janet sings "There's a Light (Over at the Frankenstein Place)." A female usher performs "Science Fiction/Double Feature," and a rollicking version of "Time Warp" is led by Riff Raff, Magenta, and Columbia. The cherry on top of it all? Cox makes her big entrance as Dr. Frank-N-Furter by descending onto the stage on a massive crane while belting out "Sweet Transvestite."
