THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW (LIVE ON STAGE!) is a magical phenomenon unlike anything ever before seen on stage. Borrowing largely from horror conventions, the stage musical begins as an innocent young couple is stranded at the home of a mad scientist who is building the perfect man. The castle is filled with a most bizarre group of characters who worship their master, Dr. Frank-N-Furter, played magnificently by a fabulously sexy man, in leather jacket, pearls, fishnet stockings, and heavy makeup. Brad and Janet are forced to examine their own sexuality as the voluptuous doctor releases the hidden desires in each of them. Based on the stage musical by Richard O’Brien, the stage show comes alive with unforgettable song-and-dance numbers that have come to represent the sexual liberation of the 1970s. The outstanding costuming and makeup, the terrific acting by a talented All-Star Cast and the memorable songs ("Time Warp," "Sweet Transvestite") help make THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW one of the most bizarrely entertaining and satisfying musicals ever made.
What the cast and director are doing here is offering a solid, slick, and oh so faithful rendition of ROCKY HORROR. Director Mitchell Greco relies on the strength of the fortysomething year-old material, and lets his vision grow gorgeous images and sumptuous arrangements.

There's not much one can say when you look at the resume of Ben Vereen. I have to admit I thought the email to interview Mr. Vereen was a hoax or a vile trick someone was playing on me. Now the reason I say this is because he is one of my idols and reasons I studied musical theatre in college and left to go to NYC to work professionally. We are familiar with his work with Bob Fosse as the Leading Player in PIPPIN and as Judas in JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR but Mr. Vereen still continues to give us the ole razzle dazzle on the stage and on the screen. He's starred in 9 Broadway shows, has received the coveted Antionette Perry Award (The Tony), a Drama Desk Award, and a Prism Award. Nominated for an NAACP Image Award, starred in 30 plus movies and television shows, and has a huge crossover career. Ben Vereen hit the scene in Martha Graham's PRODIGAL SON in 1965 and he's been working ever since. I had the esteemed pleasure to sit and talk about his illustrious career and the current projects he's working on currently.

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:

Die Premiere fand am vergangenen Samstag statt, weitere Vorstellungen laufen im Kleinen Haus noch bis Juli. Wir haben hier die Pressestimmen zusammengefasst:
