REVIEW: Guest Reviewer Kym Vaitiekus Shares His Thoughts On THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW
Maybe BEETLEJUICE: THE MUSICAL, is Gen Z’s ROCKY HORROR SHOW. When THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW first premiered in London in 1973, it received mixed reviews from critics. Some praised its campy humor, catchy songs, and provocative themes, others found its content shocking and controversial. However, it quickly gained a cult following among audiences. Fast forward to BEETLEJUICE: THE MUSICAL. It has campy humor, (somewhat) provocative themes, and a cult following. It has a strong presence on social media platforms, with the cast and creative team actively engaging with fans through channels like TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter. This has helped to cultivate a dedicated fan base among younger audiences who are drawn to the show's behind-the-scenes content, fan art, and discussions.

The Rocky Horror Show is a rare theatrical phenomenon. After debuting in a small room in London's underground circuit in 1973, it became a movie, became a pop icon and never left the stage and movie screens. A true legion of fans helps maintain the aura of the musical, in special exhibitions, meetings and happenings all over the world. Four decades after its launch, Charles Moeller & Claudio Botelho will present their Brazilian version at Teatro Porto Seguro.
Um sich die langen Winterabende zu vertreiben, komponiert der arbeitslose Schauspieler Richard O'Brien 1973 ein abgedrehtes Travestie-Spektakel als Hommage an die Gruselschocker der 1930er Jahre. THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW schlagt ein wie eine Bombe, ebenso die 1975 folgende Filmversion. Zum Kult wird das Stuck jedoch erst, als amerikanische Studenten wahrend mitternachtlicher Kinovorfuhrungen plotzlich eigene Rituale dazu erfinden. Schrage Kostumierungen, Reis, Toastbrot und Wasserpistolen sind seither ein unverzichtbarer Bestandteil des interaktiven Gruselspaßes. Und das selbstverstandlich auch am Musiktheater im Review, wo THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW am Samstag Premiere feierte! Wir haben hier die Fotos von der Produktion in Gelsenkirchen:
