Legendary theatrical sound designer Abe Jacob will be honored for his pioneering career achievements at the Live Design Awards on Monday, June 13 in New York.

The 5th Avenue Theatre presents an exciting new 'revisal' of the sweeping saga Lerner & Loewe's PAINT YOUR WAGON. Featuring an all-new book by Pulitzer Prize nominee John Marans, this show has taken an incredible journey over the last five years from developmental workshops to The 5th Avenue stage this season. And BroadwayWorld is happy to report that the company has just announced the full cast and creative team.

Evening Star Productions, in partnership with Infinite Abyss will present Richard O'Brien's The Rocky Horror Show at The Abyss Stage from May 12th through May 28th.  Evening Star Productions' Rosalie Grant, and Abyss Stage's Erynn Dalton will share the directing duties along with Chris Bare as Film Director. 

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:

Ladies and Gentlemen: It's time for THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW! In dieser Spielzeit nehmen der außerirdische Transvestit Frank N. Furter und seine exzentrische Gruselschar mit ihrem Party-Raumschiff wieder Kurs auf das Musiktheater im Revier in Gelsenkirchen. Widerstand ist zwecklos, wenn die Abgesandten vom Planeten Transsexual brave Theaterganger in frenetische Massen verwandeln. Weltweit gerieten schon uber 20 Millionen Menschen in den Bann von Richard O'Briens anarchischem Kultmusical. Die Premiere fand am vergangenen Samstag statt, weitere Vorstellungen laufen im Kleinen Haus noch bis Juli. Wir haben hier die Pressestimmen zusammengefasst:

Who out there doesn't know THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW or, at least, the film musical version, THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW? Well, as it turns out, at least six people the night I went… but I digress. THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW is the live stage version of what became the most successful flop in cinema history. A musical with music, lyrics and a book by Richard O'Brien, the show is a twisted tribute to the science fiction and horror B movies of the late 1940s on. The show tells the tale of Brad and Janet, a newly engaged couple who get caught in a storm and take refuge in the castle of a mad transvestite scientist, Dr. Frank-n-Furter, on the night of the unveiling of his new creation, a muscle man named Rocky Horror. The original London production premiered in 1973 and closed in 1980, running for a total of 2,960 performances and winning the 1973 Evening Standard Award for Best Musical.
