Due to coronavirus, various actors have taken part in rare virtual reunions this year. The casts of Mean Girls and Legally Blonde are just a few of the actors that reunited over video chat in recent months.
On Halloween, some of the original Rocky Horror cast members and other talent joined together to help raise money for the Biden-Harris campaign ahead of the general election. For the special event, Curry, along with original cast members Barry Bostwick and Nell Campbell, and other talented actors took part in a table read of the legendary film.
Democratic Party of Wisconsin chair Ben Wikler shared that this virtual reunion further supports Joe Biden and Kamala Harris‘ final stretch before the general election on Nov. 3.

“Rocky Horror has been changing lives for decades, and now, with this reunion on Halloween Night to supercharge Wisconsin Democrats in the final stretch, it’s going to change the world again,” he said. “In the final sprint of this election, we don’t need a time warp. The joy, laughter, and hilarious, outrageous energy of this iconic musical will mobilize new volunteers and raise funds to send Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to the White House.”
Along with the table read, the Rocky Horror Picture Show live event also included various musical performances. Fall Out Boy’s Patrick Stump took part in the festivities and performed “I Can Make You A Man.”
