The Rocky Horror Show - 1975 - Broadway History , Info & More

Belasco Theatre (Broadway)
111 West 44th St. New York, NY

THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW (LIVE ON STAGE!) is a magical phenomenon unlike anything ever before seen on stage. Borrowing largely from horror conventions, the stage musical begins as an innocent young couple is stranded at the home of a mad scientist who is building the perfect man. The castle is filled with a most bizarre group of characters who worship their master, Dr. Frank-N-Furter, played magnificently by a fabulously sexy man, in leather jacket, pearls, fishnet stockings, and heavy makeup. Brad and Janet are forced to examine their own sexuality as the voluptuous doctor releases the hidden desires in each of them. Based on the stage musical by Richard O’Brien, the stage show comes alive with unforgettable song-and-dance numbers that have come to represent the sexual liberation of the 1970s. The outstanding costuming and makeup, the terrific acting by a talented All-Star Cast and the memorable songs ("Time Warp," "Sweet Transvestite") help make THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW one of the most bizarrely entertaining and satisfying musicals ever made.

You Can Now Stay Overnight in the Castle from THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW
by Marika O'Hara - Mar 28, 2019


The castle that served as the home of Dr. Frank-N-Furter when the movie was made in 1975 is actually called Oakley Court and has since been converted into a luxury hotel. While the hotel has over one hundred rooms, only the nine 'mansion suites' were part of the castle's original structure and present when The Rocky Horror Picture Show was filmed. Despite the renovations that have occurred over the past 44 years, many of the movie's most iconic locations are still recognizable, including the entryway the Brad and Janet stood in front of, the large staircase, and the room where crazy dinner scene occurred.

BWW Review: Theatre Raleigh's ROCKY HORROR Spotlights Triangle Talent and Pays Homage to Cult Classic
by Lauren Van Hemert - Nov 6, 2018

The costumed crowd filling the Town of Cary's Booth Amphitheater for the limited run of Theatre Raleigh's production the weekend before Halloween was a testament to that. THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW premiered in London in 1973. After a successful run in Los Angeles in 1974, the show flopped on Broadway and closed after a mere 45 performances. Its fate as a cult-classic was sealed though when the 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' film opened in 1975.
