The Rocky Horror Show with music, lyrics and book by Richard O'Brien, is a humorous tribute to the science fiction and horror B movies of the 1930s through to the early 1960s, the musical tells the story of a newly engaged couple getting caught in a storm and coming to the home of a mad transvestite scientist, Dr Frank-N-Furter, unveiling his new creation, Rocky, a sort of Frankenstein- style monster in the form of an artificially made, fully grown, physically perfect muscle man complete 'with blond hair and a tan'. The show was produced and directed by Jim Sharman. The original London production of the musical was premièred at The Royal Court Theatre on 19 June 1973

Director Tony Marino: "We started thumbing each year because in the movie, and mentioned in the dialogue of the show, Dr. Frankenfurter is throwing one of 'his affairs'. There is a party going on at the Frankenstein Place, so we just figure it's a Halloween party and every year the theme of the party changes. So this year we are going 'totally rad' and making this a celebration of all things 80's"
