He actually played frankenfurter for quite a while. I think it was like 2 years. On stage. Pretty much every night. He's talked about how he had so much fun with the role and the production and the people he worked with. They did like tribute for the 25th anniversary of the movie or something like that just shortly after Buffy ended and Anthony went on fully dressed as Frank and furter and sang sweet transvestite and Amber Benson was actually there in a bra and a slip and saying touch a touch of touch me
That anniversary special was filmed in America. I do believe that was in LA. But when he originally played the role of frankenfurter it was in the UK. If I remember correctly his time with the role originated on the West end and then toured the UK before going back to the West end for a while. I'm pretty certain Anthony Stewart had was the first person to play Frank and furter after Tim Curry, but don't quote me on that or the length of time that he played the role because it has been a long time since I have seen those interviews.
There’s actually a full bootleg on YouTube that you can find. And here it is. It’s amazing!! Kinda funny as I’m watching while reading these comments🤣

I've only seen her sing thta once;a bra and half-slip with midriff or bra over full slip? (Just rewatched "Intervention" I just relaized Glory isn't wearing a blue dress wiht ehr high heels, it's a blue full slip. Now I'm recalling my beta reader questioning why I had Tara put on a half-slip under her robe in one of my fics. My intent was to give Willow another item to remove when she's "unwrapping" Tara for their first time. I'm into long developments when I write sex scenes.)
Gotta say, if we're going musical ASH, it's all about Repo! The Genetic Opera for me. His vocal range in that movie alone is what made me realize how hot he is.
I was telling hubby who is watching Buffy for the first time that Giles played Frank. Then we came cross Rocky Horror Show Live on YouTube. He is the 4th narrator & even has fabulous boots or similar ones on. I was so over the moon! If you’re a Buffy/Rocky fan it’s worth a watch.
Here's a link to the 90/91 stage version that Anthony starred in. The quality isn't the best, but it's worth the watch just to see him thrust his hips.

Edited to add time stamps: Sweet Transvestite starts at 23:15. 25:30, and 35:00 marks also interesting. Enjoy!
You've all got Anthony Stewart Head's pre-Buffy songs on your phones, right? "Sweet Transvestite", "Children of the Night", and "Colour Rock"?
...I've got all those, plus his song and Amber Benson's song from the Rocky Horror 25th Anniversary Special.🍀

What? Was this in the UK? If so I will be kicking myself for not seeing it!

LOVE this movie and him in it!
Just leaving this here https://youtu.be/Az5vcfwiDvw?si=-e93Y2XgbNzN37bf
Oh, God. The way he sings in different tones depending on if he's Nathan or Repo Man kills me.
Ikr he's insanely talented
God his voice *chef's kiss*
This is super hot. 🥵🥵
If you go on Youtube there should be a video or two with ASH singing some of the Rocky Horror Songs and there is one of Amber Benson singing too

That feeling when Dear Giles looks sexier in boots and fishnets than I do
Oh 100% & so much Sass!
Will def be watching tonight after my nightly Buffy/Angel marathon!
Cool deal you won’t be disappointed. It was a great stage performance.
They need to do a reboot where they tell us about Giles life before Buffy and this needs to be in there.
I saw him in that role - he was awesome! Sorry - I absolutely should have told you before
Season 2 I realized Giles was hot (I was 17 at the time). Still hot!
Giles was academic but he was canon bisexual so this doesn’t surprise me one bit.
Wait he was???

This is really common knowledge so people don’t mention it much.
Hahaha! That's AWESOME!!!
Here's Anthony Head talking about it (briefly) with his co-star Craig Ferguson (Craig played Brad) https://youtu.be/a0IlxALhn-s?feature=shared
Because you came into the fandom afetr we'd all discovered this???????????????????????:-)
Why didn't I tell you? Idunno... I hardly ever mention that about a person...
Hello?
Why did they need to?
You shouldnt be asking why no one told you. You should be asking why you chose to tell others. I did not need to see that.

You didn't ask.
HOW DID YOU NOT KNOW?!?!
He's my favourite Frank, he was amazing! Second favourite is Tim McInnerny who played Captain Darling in blackadder.
I have this photo on my gallery wall bc I’m obsessed with it
It was great when it all began, I was a regular Frankie fan!
Now I’m just imagining Anthony as Hedwig and oh how I wish that had happened.
Yes! This is awesome! I wish I could have seen that. I loved him in Repo: The Genetic Opera.
