Directed by Oh, Mary’s Sam Pinkleton with choreography by Ani Taj, Richard O’Brien’s The Rocky Horror Show begins previews at Studio 54 on Thursday, March 26, ahead of an opening on Thursday, April 23. The limited engagement runs through Sunday, June 21.
In continuous production throughout the world for the last 52 years, The Rocky Horror Show – precursor by two years to 1975’s The Rocky Horror Picture Showhas been seen by over 40 million people in some 15 languages. The rock and roll musical features such numbers as “Dammit Janet,” “Touch-A, Touch-A, Touch Me,” “Hot Patootie” and of course “Time Warp.”
The synopsis, in case anyone needs: “The Rocky Horror Show is the story of two squeaky clean college kids – Brad and his fiancée Janet – on their way to visit their former college professor when by a twist of fate their car breaks down outside a mansion. They meet the charismatic Dr. Frank-N-Furter, Riff Raff, Columbia, Magenta, Eddie and Rocky. It is an adventure they would remember for a very long time.”
The new revival will feature music supervision by Kris Kukul, set design by dots, costume design by David I. Reynoso, lighting design by Jane Cox, sound design by Brian Ronan, wig & hair design by Alberto “Albee” Alvarado and make-up design by Sterling Tull.
