HAVE YOU MET MY FAITHFUL HANDYMAN?
Richard O'Brien began creating this cult classic as a way to pass the winter nights after leaving his role in J.C. Superstar. Little did he know millions of fans would wile away their own midnights screaming, swearing and throwing things at his beautiful creation, and all because they, like us, loved the whole damn thing!
Many Rocky "virgins" are unaware the musical began as a live production in 1973, but any experienced Fansylvanian will tell you that it's better in the flesh.
2015 marks a historical year for the show, as we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the film, the release of both a reshot film and a brand new documentary, and even the reappearance of the show's creator in a new UK tour! And, of course, we're celebrating with our own late night feature right here. We hope to make Fansylvanians of you all! (Don't worry, we'll be gentle...)

THE PLOT
WARNING: No spoilers...
"The Rocky Horror Show" tells the story of many a beloved character, as narrated by the Criminologist, an irrefutable expert on the Denton affair.
Newly engaged lovers, Brad and Janet, set off to celebrate the news with their old science teacher, Dr. Scott, who, himself, is on a mission to locate his rockin' and rollin' nephew Eddie, who has disappeared.
Their journeys will each land them (expectedly or not) in the lair of intergalactic biochemical researcher Dr. Frank N. Furter, his domestics Riff Raff and Magenta, and his many other strange friends and bedfellows, on the evening of the unveiling of Frank's greatest creation: Rocky, the perfect hand-made man. But not everything is as perfect as it seems...
