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.

‘The Rocky Horror Show:’ Luke Evans Astounds In Campy, Queer-Tastic Revival
9 / 10
In Oh, Mary! director Sam Pinkleton’s rousing, campy and dazzling new staging, via Roundabout Theater Company, there isn’t too much daring, beyond a sexy scene or two–which is a bit disappointing but not surprising considering the faux puritanical times we’re living in. But what makes this Rocky Horror Show so worthwhile, beyond the fab costumes (by David I. Reynoso), wig and hair (by Alberto “Albee” Alvarado) lighting (by Jane Cox) and sound (by Brian Ronan) design, are the gloriously unhinged performances.
‘The Rocky Horror Show’ review: Broadway show’s got killer performances, but, dammit Janet, make it more fun
6 / 10
Still, there’s much to like, even adore, in Pinkleton’s revival — from its Fritz Lang-y metallic manikins to a dark and seductive castle set that feels ripped from a Jim Steinman music video to two knockout performances from Luke Evans as Dr. Frank-N-Furter and Hsu as Janet. Yet when the plot practically disappears midway through Act 2, and the crowd’s lips are zipped, you just crave something more, more, more.
