Get ready for some partici… pation!

Generally credited as being the best-known cinematic “Midnight Movie”, for decades now The Rocky Horror Picture Show has been a “Cult Classic” in every sense of the word.

Starring the inimitable Tim Curry and Susan Sarandon, the bizarre, over-the-top, and very unapologetic sci- fi/horror musical/gender-bending rock opera is a true, undeniable legend of cinema!

But it’s not just the film itself… far from it, even!

THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW is all about the fans… and more specifically, the audience participation! Rocky Horror is the first and only true audience partici- (SAY IT!)-pation movie. People yell back lines at the screen during the extended pauses between dialogue, dress up in costume and act out the film, and throw props various times during the film. Think of it as one part dinner theatre, one part drag show, one part roast, and of course, all parts insanity!

This will be an experience to remember with free participation kits for all guests. The Screenings are both hosted by Brisbane drag royalty – the most fabulous drag queen on the scene, MAXI-BON.

So, dress for a trip to Transylvania with our sing-along, dance-a-long screening of this timeless cultural phenomenon.

A 1975 British film starring Susan Sarandon and Tim Curry, The Rocky Horror Picture Show began its journey as a London stage musical before becoming the longest running cult film of all time. A box office failure upon initial release, 20th Century Fox re-opened Rocky Horror at midnight in April 1976 and it found its audience.

People began attending the screenings in costume, and shouting out lines in response to the film dialogue. From this, the concept of a ‘floorshow cast’ began. Over the years, this idea has developed with groups now performing during the screenings. In character and in costume, the casts perform a live lip-synch floorshow on the stage in front of the screen whilst the film plays.

Now, over forty years later, audience members are still flocking to screenings of the film all over the world. Nothing can beat seeing the film with a live cast in costume, and with audience members singing-along and shouting audience participation lines in time with the film.
