Hamilton, ON, April 1, 2010 – Brad, Janet, Frank’n’Furter, and all the characters from the cult classic
The Rocky Horror Show, come to life on the Theatre Aquarius stage starting April 20th.
“For some people this show is a trip down Nostalgia Lane but for Rock Virgins, it’s an experience like no other,” says Artistic Director Ron Ulrich, “It’s a little bit naughty, a tiny bit frothy and an unbelievable amount of fun. Hamilton is going to have a good time.”
Briefly,
Rockytells the story of Brad Majors and his fiancée Janet Weiss. When their car breaks down on a dark and stormy night, the two young lovers seek refuge at a very strange castle that just happens to be nearby. The score features such classic songs as the
Time Warp,
Damn it, Janet and
Sweet Transvestite and many others. The film version has become a worldwide staple of midnight screenings and a Must-See event for millions of people around the planet.
