The Rocky Horror Show

About this experience

The Rocky Horror Show plays Studio 54 on Broadway, booking through 28 February 2027. Richard O'Brien's 1973 cult musical is staged by Roundabout Theatre Company and directed by Tony winner Sam Pinkleton, and it runs 1 hour 50 minutes with one 15-minute intermission. The Rocky Horror Show at Studio 54: the cult musical on Broadway Brad and Janet are newly engaged, hopelessly square, and driving through a storm when the tire goes. The nearest light is a castle. Inside is Dr. Frank-N-Furter, a scientist from the planet Transsexual in the galaxy of Transylvania, throwing a party to unveil the man he has built in his laboratory. What follows is part B-movie parody, part rock concert, and part invitation to abandon whatever you walked in believing about yourself. Richard O'Brien wrote the stage show in 1973 as a love letter to the science-fiction and horror films he grew up on, and the film version, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, followed in 1975. Expect songs including Sweet Transvestite, Dammit Janet and the Time Warp. Who is in the cast of The Rocky Horror Show? The Rocky Horror Show cast changes during the run, including the role of Frank-N-Furter. Our Rocky Horror Show cast guide lists who plays each role and when, including any guest stars. Can you join in at The Rocky Horror Show? Yes, but choose your call-outs carefully. The production's own guidance is that the famous call-outs grew out of film screenings, and that this is a Broadway musical, not a midnight showing of the film, so a well-timed line is welcome while respecting the audience members who want to hear the show and the actors performing live. There is no dress code, so you can dress up or come as you are. Photography and recording are not allowed during the performance. Studio 54: from nightclub to Broadway house Studio 54 was the most notorious nightclub in New York before it became a Broadway theater, which makes it a fitting home for a show about a party getting out of hand. It sits at 254 West 54th Street, between Broadway and 8th Avenue, with seating in the orchestra and the mezzanine above. The theater has no elevator, and limited accessible seating is available in the orchestra. More Broadway shows to see See Paranormal Activity, Much Ado About Nothing, Oh, Mary! and Hadestown.
