Wichita’s Orpheum Theatre is set to bring back the cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show just in time for Halloween. This thrilling musical will be showcased on Friday, October 27, with two showings; one at 8 p.m. for all ages, and a midnight screening exclusively for those 21 and older.
Described as a screamingly funny, sinfully twisted salute to sci-fi, horror, B-movies and rock music, all rolled into one deliciously decadent morsel by the Orpheum, The Rocky Horror Picture Show has garnered a loyal fan base since its debut in 1975. The movie follows the adventures of Brad and Janet, who find themselves seeking refuge in the eerie castle of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, a transvestite mad scientist from outer space. As they become entangled in the doctor’s plans and witness his greatest creation, the film delves into a world of humor, horror, and outrageous musical numbers.
The original cast of the 1975 movie includes renowned actors Tim Curry, Barry Bostwick, Susan Sarandon, and the late rock star Meat Loaf. Their performances have become iconic, and the film itself has achieved a cult-like status among fans.
Tickets to the shows are reasonably priced at $10, allowing audiences to experience the thrilling atmosphere of this beloved production. Additionally, viewers have the option to purchase a prop bag for $5, enabling them to fully engage and participate in specific parts of the movie.
