The Rocky Horror Picture Show, the B-movie musical ode to horror films, inspired a cult following replete with costume-garbed, ravenous fans shouting out lines and dancing in the aisles. Therefore it's only natural that The Poseidon Adventure, a 1970's disaster flick about stranded passengers on a capsized luxury liner, would inspire a similar cult-like frenzy, right?
Well, it's true. Such a following does exist with party-goers screaming out lines while dressed as the unforgettable characters originally portrayed by Gene Hackman, Shelley Winters and Ernest Borgnine.
In fact, Poseidon! An Upside Down Musical begins at such a party as the guests attempt to "explain" the story to a newcomer. What follows is a hilarious, musical sendup of one of the greatest disaster films of all time! Based on the 1972 blockbuster, this rollicking musical funfest features all your favorite characters from the movie and includes the songs "Mr. Rogo (The Only Way is Up)" and "Just Panties (What Else Do I Need?)"
Join these tormented tourists in a world where up is down and down is up as they struggle to "keep on climbing"! All performances are at the Monmouth Theatre at 636 Monmouth Street (just 4 blocks
