Cast and Creative Team Set for THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW at The Edge Theater

The full cast and creative team has been revealed for Surging Films & Theatrics 2023 production of The Rocky Horror Show at The Edge Theater in Chicago October 28th - Nov 5th. Only 10 performances!

One fateful night, Brad Majors and his fiancée, Janet Weiss - a wholesome, well-behaved, young couple in love - innocently set out to visit an old professor. Unfortunately for them, this night out is destined to be one they will never forget. A thunderstorm and a flat-tire force them to seek help at the castle of Dr. Frank 'N' Furter, an alien, transvestite scientist with a manic genius and insatiable libido. Brad, Janet, and Frank' N' Furter's cohorts are swept up into the scientist's latest experiment. The night's misadventures will cause Brad and Janet to question everything they've known about themselves, each other, love, and lust. A loving homage to the classic B sci-fi film and horror genres with an irresistible rock'n'roll score, The Rocky Horror Show is a hilarious, wild ride that no audience will soon forget.

This is a LIVE musical of Rocky Horror. Crowd participation will be encouraged! We expect each night to be rowdy, campy, and spooky!

Dress up, dress down, dress to impress! Let's celebrate this cult classic the right way!

Rated R for RAUNCHY
