The Rocky Horror Show is a play and a movie that has transcended its time to become an icon of its generation. Everyone of a certain age knows what to do next when someone says, You put your hand on your hips. This is the kind of connection that Theatre 55 has always sought to find with its productions. Our productions of Hair re-awakened hippie ideals, Pippins self-doubt and self-exploration translated a youthful quest into a midlife crisis, Urinetown brought out a spirit of communal protest, and now Rocky Horror will unlock the bands of sexual taboo. Rocky Horror is an icon of LGBTQ culture, but it also translates well to the sexual repression and suppression of the elder population at large.
