Forestburgh Playhouse Presents The Rocky Horror Picture Show

It’s that time of year again, when the leaves turn orange and the air turns crisp. That’s right; it’s Halloween season! For many, Halloween means fall weather, costume parties, scary movies, and just having fun, but there’s no better way to ring in the holiday than with a cult classic like The Rocky Horror Picture Show. The Rocky Horror Picture Show is more than just an entertaining film, it’s also an annual tradition at Halloween and one of the most celebrated Halloween traditions–even if you’ve never seen it, you’ve probably heard of it. This musical play was first introduced in 1975 to midnight movie audiences and has since become one of the most popular cult classics, thanks to its zany story and over-the-top cast of characters. This year, why not see the Rocky Horror Picture Show during a weekend this October? You’ll have fun no matter what your costume or Rocky Horror experience level!

What Is It?

The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a famous 1973 musical that debuted in London and was adapted into a film in 1975. It follows a newly engaged young, wholesome couple, Brad and Janet, who are played by Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon, and their adventures at Dr. Frank N Furter's castle on Transylvania Night. After the couple’s car breaks down in the middle of a storm, the couple head to the castle on top of a hill to seek help, where they become part of his mad experiment. They must sing, dance, and lip sync to the song lyrics in order to escape this nightmare. The musical has been performed in theaters around the world for decades around Halloween time and is famous for its rock songs, dances, and elaborate costumes. Many people dress up like their favorite character from the movie or in a Halloween costume when attending the show.
