KHSPAC is looking for
committed young actors, singers, and dancers for the cast of The
Rocky
Horror Show.
The Rocky Horror Show,
with music, lyrics, and book by Richard O’Brien, is a story of self discovery
and being true to your own nature. It is
also a humorous tribute to the science fiction B movies of the 1950s. The musical tells the story of newly engaged
couple, Brad Majors and Janet Weiss, who take shelter from a storm in an old
castle – which happens to be inhabited by mad-scientist-alien, Dr. Frank N. Furter,
who is about to unveil his newest creation, “Rocky”.
The musical, originally produced and directed by
Jim Sharman, premiered in London, at the Royal Court Theatre (Upstairs) in June
of 1973, moved on to several other locations, and closed in September of
1980. It ran for a total of 2,960 performances,
and won the 1973 Evening Standard Award for Best Musical. Its 1974 debut in the US in Los
Angeles
The play was adapted into a film, and released in
1975 as The Rocky Horror Picture Show. The film is the longest-running
release in film history; it has never been pulled from rotation of its original
release, and continues to play in cinemas all over the world. The film, as well as the play, has become the
very definition of a cult classic.
