====2016 Brazilian production====
In 2016, a new staging premiered in [[São Paulo]] under the direction and production of Charles Möeller and Cláudio Botelho, a famous duo who signed previous successful Brazilian adaptations, such as ''[[Spring Awakening (musical)|Spring Awakening]]'' and ''[[The Sound of Music]]''. The cast included Marcelo Médici (Frank), Bruna Guerin (Janet), Felipe de Carolis (Brad), Gottsha (Magenta/Usherette), Thiago Machado (Riff Raff), Jana Amorim (Columbia), Nicola Lama (Eddie / Dr. Scott), Felipe Mafra (Rocky) and Marcel Octavio (Narrator) with Vanessa Costa and Thiago Garça (Ghosts).

Shortly before the premiere of the musical, Botelho became embroiled in controversy after posting transphobic and homophobic comments on his personal [[Facebook]] page regarding trans people. In his words:
{{blockquote|Guys, this sort of thing [being trans] is spreading because the parents do not hit their kids anymore. But if a father hits a LaverME [here, he makes a pun with [[Laverne Cox]] and the word "worm" in Portuguese], a fagot rights entity say that she is a woman trapped inside the body of a man. Well, I'm a blue-eyed blonde soul lost in a body of a bumpkin for fifty years and nobody ever defended me. Don't I have human rights? Like I said: if the father hits them, they will know it's wrong and will have sex with their guy friend from school, they will not say they are trans people, they will try to find a man to them and will stop searching for the spotlight. The spotlight is for [[Judy Garland|Judy]], [[Barbra Streisand|Barbra]] and [[Rogéria]] [a very famous Brazilian trans actress], the rest is a bunch of junkie fagot from rave parties.{{citation needed|date=October 2019}}}}

Following the event, many Facebook users have expressed outrage at Botelho's claims. In his defense, the director said that the comments were nothing more than a joke and that they were taken out of context. According to him, it was just a discussion about the casting of actress Laverne Cox for the then-upcoming [[The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let's Do the Time Warp Again|television film]].

The production was still highly successful, especially for the large number of [[cosplay]]ers who, at the end of very show, were invited to dance the "Time Warp" on stage with the cast.

====2016/2017 Argentinian production==== 
On August 2, 2016, it premiered in Buenos Aires, led by director [[Andie Say]].
