    Quirky – Musical – Raunchy comedy

    When a straight-laced couple are stranded by a storm, they seek refuge at ‘the castle down the road,’ where they experience a night they’ll never forget with the eccentric Dr. Frank-N-Furter and his strange team.

    I first fell in love with The Rocky Horror Picture Show when I first saw it on stage. I loved the fans who all turned up in epic costumes and the fun upbeat energy oozing off of them. I found the audience participation hilarious, being amazed to learn there is a whole script out there for the audience to get involved. I loved the brilliant madness of all the characters, how over the top and camp it all is and the musical numbers are amazing. I would definitely recommend seeing it live if you can.

    As much as I love this film, I feel the audience participation adds a whole other layer of love for this film, so I can see why it’s midnight screenings brought it to it’s popularity, as there’s something that isn’t quite the same when watching it at home.

    Tim Curry is outstanding as Dr. Frank-N-Furter. The whole cast are amazing and iconic in their roles.

    Oh Tim Curry, you marvellous man! Who doesn’t love a film that stars Tim Curry?! A very easy to watch, bit of fun, murder mystery that doesn’t take itself seriously.
