Freddie Mercury News

He would have been 70 this year, and people mourn his death as acutely today as they did when it was announced, so much so that the name Freddie has become exclusively synonymous to his memory as one of the most unique, boundary-pushing and talented singer/songwriters of all time. Accompanied by similarly legendary musicians who still perform under the name to this day (they're soon to conclude their European tour fronted by Adam Lambert), Queen are proven time and time again to still be audience favourites in everything from karaoke to musical theatre extravaganzas and tribute juggernauts. The latest of these to reach Australian Queen fans features the incredible Giles Taylor, who I was fortunate enough to connect with and discuss his excitement about returning Down Under.

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:
