I didn't remember that he had North Carolina ties. From the Raleigh Theater in the Park website:
Terrence (Terry) Mann is best known for originating the Broadway roles of Rum Tum Tugger in Cats, Javert in Les Misérables (Tony Award nomination for Best Actor in a Musical), and the Beast in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast (Tony, Drama Desk, and Outer Critics Circle Award nominations for Best Actor in a Musical). His directing credits include such regional productions as 1776, The Sound of Music, Hello Dolly, Gypsy, Funny Girl, Show Boat, Camelot, Guys and Dolls, My Fair Lady, Dream Girls and Pirates of Penzance. He is the past Artistic Director of The North Carolina Theatre. Terry's first job, upon graduating from The North Carolina School of the Arts, was with Raleigh's Theatre In The Park. While with the theatre, Terry played such roles as Tybalt in ROMEO & JULIET and Petruchio in THE TAMING OF THE SHREW. He was an original castmember in TIP's first production of A CHRISTMAS CAROL (he composed the music for ONCE A YEAR, the song still sung by the Cratchit family). Terry directed THE LOST COLONY - America's oldest outdoor drama - for two seasons. He is currently appearing in
LENNON on Broadway.
I don't know if I've ever seen a picture of him in Rocky Horror (right).
Terrence made his Broadway debut in 1982 in the Tony Award-winning show Barnum at the St. James Theatre. He played the supporting role of Chester Lyman.
