Sharman was hoping his good friend and pop star Marianne Faithfull would play Frank N. Furter’s female counterpart. However, Little Nell was already cast in the production.

Sharman and O’Brien would rework the role into two parts: Magenta and Columbia. When it came time to cast Magenta, Faithfull was already on tour in India and Patricia Quinn was eventually cast. Despite having almost no lines, she sang the lead song “Science Fiction/Double Feature.”
