Time Magazine called it “Campy trash.” Now the hilarious tribute to the science fiction and B horror movies of the late 1940s through to the early 1970s, THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW will arrive at the Waterfront Playhouse on October 19 for a 7 day run through October 25. Tickets may be obtained through the web site, waterfrontplayhouse.org or by calling 305-294-5015. Participation bags will be on sale at the theatre as well.

The show stars Christopher Peterson (Eyecons) as Frank-n-Furter, Arthur Crocker (Shrek) and Belle Jampol (Young Frankenstein) as Brad and Janet, entertainer Nick Mazza as Rocky, entertainer Donovan Pavlicek as Riff Raff, Kelsey Lakeman (The Producers) as Magenta, Carolyn Cooper (Young Frankenstein) as Columbia, Dave Bootle (Mangoes) as Eddie, John McDonald (Young Frankenstein) as Dr. Scott and Tony Konrath as the Narrator.

Directed and choreographed by Tom Thayer, designed by Michael Boyer, lighting by Samuel Swagert, stage managed by Trish Manley, projections by Wonderdog Studios with Larry Baeder on guitar, Gary Rivenson on bass, John Sausser on drums, Donna DeForrest on sax and Thayer on keyboards completing the team.

The musical tells the story of a newly engaged couple getting caught in a storm and coming to the home of a mad scientist, Dr Frank-N-Furter, unveiling his new creation, a sort of Frankenstein styled monster in the form of a physically perfect muscle man named Rocky, complete “with blond hair and a tan”.

The original London production of the musical premiered on June 19 1973 and later moved to several other locations running for 2,960 performances and winning the 1973 the Evening Standard Award for Best Musical. The musical was adapted into the 1975 film, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, starring O’Brien as Riff Raff, with Tim Curry also reprising his role and has become a late night favorite ever since.
