Let's Do the Time Warp Again!
The Rocky Horror Picture Show is returning to the Mahalia
Jackson Theater this fall for its 49th annual spectacular tour. The show
is set to kick off at the theater on October 24 with several exciting cast members.
The original Magenta, Patricia Quinn, will be greeting fans after the performance.
The show is celebrating its nearly 50 year run of being a well-loved
cult classic. In fact, Rocky Horror is film history's longest running theatrical
release. This special viewing of the
show will include some additional excitement, including a costume contest and a performance
from the local NOLA shadow cast. There will also be a display of memorabilia
from the show, including props and costumes used in the original movie. Like all
traditional and delightful Rocky Horror showings, this screening will include
opportunities for audience members to respond and participate in the
performance.
Rocky Horror is a cult classic that originally came out in
1975. The iconic film was counter cultural at the time and is loved for its scandalous
depictions of unbridled fun and sexuality. Since then, the show has continued
to be screened around the world, often accompanied by a shadow cast of actors performing
the show with the film playing behind them. Audience members throw toast, scream "Damnit, Janet," and more as the salacious plot unfolds.
Tickets will go on sale Friday, May 10 at 10 a.m. with options to purchase online or at the Saenger's box office. VIP ticket options are available for those interested in meeting Patricia Quinn. The show plays year round at the Prytania Theater in New Orleans for those itching to get in the spirit before fall. Make sure to reserve a spot in advance for this sure to sell out show.
