About the show

You’ve seen the movie and you know the songs: Sweet Transvestite, Time Warp,
Hot Patootie (Bless My Soul) and I’m Going Home.  Rocky Horror comes to
Johnstown, just in time for Halloween!  Rocky Horror, easily the campiest
musical ever written, is THE original cult experience - don't forget to
dress up when you come and see this!

The Rocky Horror Show takes place on a dark and stormy night in the 1950s,
where super-square Brad Majors and his amazingly innocent fiancée Janet
Weiss seek refuge in a mysterious castle- and thus their adventures begin.
They try desperately to survive the diabolical Riff-Raff, his incestuously
fashionable sister Magenta, her rock' n' rollin' best friend Columbia, her
dangerous biker boyfriend Eddie, a lot of Transylvanians and the sweet
transvestite Dr. Frank N. Furter- a man determined to change their lives
(and their libidos) forever. When Brad and Janet learn of the doctor's wild
experiments (Rocky) and his plans for them it takes the intervention of the
strange wheelchair-bound Dr. Scott to save them from ultimate destruction!  

That sweet transvestite and his motley crew did the time warp on Broadway in
a twenty fifth anniversary revival. Complete with sass from the audience,
cascading toilet paper and an array of other audience participation props,
this deliberately kitschy rock 'n' roll sci-fi gothic is more fun than ever.
"Still a lot of fun [in this] live version of the jolly audience
participation event that the movie version has become.... As the narrator,
the droll Dick Cavett ... draws the audience into a conspiracy of fun." N.Y.
Daily News. "A socko wacko weirdo rock concert." WNBC TV. "A musical that
deals with mutating identity and time warps becomes one of the most mutated,
time warped phenomena in show business." N.Y. Times. "Campy trash." Time.
Post.

This musical is not intended for everyone.
