A satirical and loving homage to the classic B sci-fi film and horror movies of the 20th century, the show centers around two naïve lovers, Brad and Janet. Seeking shelter from a thunderstorm in an old castle, they find themselves thrust into the laboratory of mad scientist Dr. Frank ‘N’ Furter and his motley crew. Stripped of inhibitions, Brad and Janet embark on a wild, unforgettable journey. Reality, fiction, and camp collide in this mash-up of comics, rock and roll, and late-night horror flicks. With audience sass and an array of participation props, The Rocky Horror Show delivers a rowdy, unforgettable theatrical experience!
