The Rocky Horror Picture Show started in London as a stage play called the Rocky Horror Show. Its a musical spoof of SF and Horror movies.
The movie which starred Tim Curry as Frank N Furter, Richard O' Brien as Riff-Raff, Susan Sarandon as Janet Weiss, Barry Bostwick as Brad Majors, Patricia Quinn as Magenta, Little Nell as Columbia and Meatloaf as Eddie. Was a giant flop when it was released. It lacked the fun of the stage play - then when all was lost - there was a little magic! A theartre played it at Midnight! And was packed!
Overnight this became a cult classic playing around the country at Midnight on weekends. People started talking back to the screen and histroy was made. Then some of the audience started performing in front of the screen and we got our Shadow cast.
In West Palm Beach we have the CAREFREE THEATRE - the longest running Rocky in Florida. The Carefree Players have a Shadow Cast that performs during the show. If you have never been to a Rocky with a Shadow Cast, you owe it to yourself to go.The pictures are of members of the Shadow Cast at the Carefree.
As of this writing, Jan. 2002 - the Rocky Horror Picture Show is no longer being shown at the Carefree Theatre in WPB. Now we have heard that they have a new theatre that they are perfroming at - Since we no longer live in the West Palm Beach area we have no solid information. If you have any information let us know. We are also interested of learning of any Rocky shows in East Tennessee. It's been a while since we've been.
