Rocky Horror Show
October 12-21
October in musical theater calendar is ROCKY HORROR MONTH. As we prepare to spook each other out on Richmond Row, the cast of Rocky Horror was busy putting together songs and dance to spook their audience.
What is Rocky Horror about? Let’s ask John Pacheco, artistic director of London’s very own Pacheco theater, back again this year by popular demand for the very last time. “Brad and Janet are a simple engaged couple whose lives get turned upside down by Frank 'n Furter and his household of strange Transylvanians on a stormy night.” It is “ a humorous musical tribute to science fiction and horror B movies that developed a huge cult following.”
Personally I’d describe Rocky Horror as a mix of a Frankenstein parody and a musical theater version of the Purge. Though for a rocky virgin, John said you don’t need to bring anything as they are selling prop bags for $5 at the door, though you can dress up and sing along like most people do.
Lastly I asked John, “why should we come see your show?”, and he said “It'll be the most fun you'll ever have seeing the show live! They get to dress up as their favourite characters and get to yell all sorts of things at the characters all show long. It's probably the most interactive you can be with actors on stage. Because the crowds keep asking us back year after year...and ever after I've said this is the last year, people are still pleading I do it again next year.”
I would say Pacheco’s production this year is ROCKY SOLID. Showcasing artists from the community scene, the show puts fourth a version of Rocky unseen elsewhere.
