BWW Review: THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW at Richmond Triangle Players Thrills the Audience
by Susan Haubenstock - October 25, 2019
The run sold out almost instantly, but 'The Rocky Horror Show' at Richmond Triangle Players is too fun to not review. The 1973 musical by Richard O'Brien was a hit in London but not in New York, and of course it was later made into the spectacularly successful late-night movie favorite. It's wildly uneven and doesn't make a lot of sense, but there's no denying how much enjoyment it provides.
