Bursting at the seams with timeless classics, including Sweet Transvestite,
Damn it Janet, and of course, the pelvic-thrusting Time Warp, Richard
O’Brien’s Rocky Horror show is a non-stop party!
Created by Richard O’Brien who wrote the book, music and lyrics, this
homage to the horror film is as ‘sexy and funny as ever’.
The Rocky Horror Show originally debuted in 1973 on a small
experimental stage in London. A live parody of the classic sci-fi and
monster movies of the 40s and 50s, it was the brainchild of actor Richard
O'Brien and director Jim Sharman. It starred Tim Curry and with catchy rock
music, larger-than-life characters and a bewildering plot, it was immensely
popular with audiences and won the award for Best Musical of 1973 from The
London Evening Standard.
In 1974, the show came to America, opening at the Roxy Theatre in
Hollywood, where it played for nine months to full houses. Tim Curry
reprised his role, but many new faces joined the cast, including the rock
musician Michael Lee Aday, a.k.a. Meatloaf. The production caught the
attention of 20th Century Fox, who acquired the rights and set out to make
it into a motion picture,
In 1975, the motion picutre version of The Rocky Horror Picture Show opened in the United
States. In the roles of Brad and Janet, it featured relative unknowns Barry
Bostwick and Susan Sarandon. It received mixed reviews initially, but
promoters quickly realized the film was attracting a cult following. They
began to hold discount midnight screenings, which turned out to be very good
idea. Audience members were returning time after time and, having memorized
the film, were shouting alternate lines and dancing "The Time Warp" in the
aisles. Soon "shadow casts" developed, who wore elaborate costumes and
pantomimed every scene in the film on the stage in front of the screen. Now,
more than 30 years later, it is still the quintessential cult film, with a
huge international following, yearly conventions and midnight showings in
many major cities
