Music, Book & Lyrics by: Richard O'Brien

On the way to visit an old college professor, two clean cut kids run into tire trouble and seek help at the Frankenstein place, where Dr. Frank N Furter is in the midst of one of his maniacal experiments - he's created the perfect man, a rippling piece of beefcake christened Rocky Horror. Read the complete synopsis. For an even more detailed look at what happens, browse through the lyrics.

The movie was released in 1975, and has become one of the greatest cult classics of all time, and a part of our collective pop culture consciousness. Midnight Halloween screenings in full costume are a regular occurrence in many cities, but for audience participation, nothing compares to seeing the show on stage! Read more about the movie, or about the development of the musical.

I've got two different recordings of this show, the original movie soundtrack and the Broadway revival recording, and and I enjoy both of them quite a bit! Read more of my reviews of the CDs, or listen to a clip from one of my favourite songs.

I can't say I ever had a huge desire to run out and see this show - until it turned out that Terrence Mann would be playing Frank 'N Furter in the New York revival. And then you couldn't have kept me away! :-) I almost missed it when it closed briefly after Sept. 11/01, but luckily it re-opened, and I was there! Read my thoughts on that performance.

It's always interesting to see some pretty "normal" actors take on some of these roles. :-) Here's a look at some of my favourites that have been in the show. Once you're done looking around here, check out some of the other fantastic Rocky Horror sites that are out there.
