Review: 'Dammit, Janet' THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW is Live in Kansas City at The Grand Theatre
by Steve Wilson - October 12, 2024
Forty-nine years after Richard O’Brien wrote the book, lyrics, and music for THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW it remains a cult classic, and it has risen to a new level as Padgett Productions opens THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW LIVE in the Grand Theatre at Crown Center in Kansas City. The show opened to a raucous audience on Friday, October 4, and runs through November 2. This is not a shadow cast but is performed with a live band, and live performers (they tried dead ones, but they couldn’t remember the lyrics). What did our critic think of 'DAMMIT, JANET' THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW IS LIVE IN KANSAS CITY at The Grand Theatre?
