Avg. Event Rating (4.0 Stars): Add Review/Comment

It's outrageous! It's bizarre! It's hilarious! And it's coming to San Jose, live! It's Rocky Horror! Campy to the hilt, this show is the craziest cavalcade of goofball, glam, sci-fi/horror mayhem you'll ever see. The plot? In this take-off of science fiction classics, Brad and Janet, two tame residents of a small Ohio town, suffer a flat tire far from home, near the ominous castle of Dr. Frank N. Furter, a Transylvanian transvestite who has discovered the secret to creating life. Frank, puts Brad and Janet through their paces, and they both end changed forever. The music includes Damn it, Janet, Science Fiction, Superheros, and of course Time Warp! Directed by Jeff M. Hicks, Choreographed by Mike Cymanski.

    Attending this production of the Rocky Horror Show was, in my opinion, the best way to start off 2006 and it is definitely something that no one should pass up. It was incredibly professional and yet fabulously hilarious in a bizarre way that only Rocky Horror can manage. It was immensely entertaining and who doesn’t love sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll during the holiday season? I certainly recommend this show to anyone who hasn’t seen it yet. You won’t want to miss this one, it’s a once in a life time experience! Collapse

    The most amazing thing about this production was how much passion each actor brought to the show; there was an energy like I have never seen in any theatre before. Boring is definitely not a word that you could use to describe this show. It was astonishingly apparent that everyone was having the time of their lives and it made for one of the most remarkable experiences of my theatre career. Just about every aspect of this very seldom seen production was spectacularly done! The costumes were to die for and the set was fantastic, especially considering the limited amount of stage space. The actors (and the band members!) were incredibly comical and they obviously loved playing around with the audience both vocally and physically! Everyone was so excited and even some of the audiences’ costumes were outstanding! The show actually made sense without losing its sense of extreme humor in the telling and this is an amazing trip into the wild and shocking world of Rocky Horror. Don’t miss it!! Collapse

    "Very Disapointing"

    I did not like how un professional this show was. I was very un satisfied. The actors were average, set=okay, props=weak, music=low. It was very disapointing. I expected more from this theatre.

    It will shock a bit, and no doubt be a different show every night but the performances were entertaining and the show is sure to be a hit. A talented cast led by Tad Morgan as Frank ( outstanding) makes this pretty much what you would expect with a few excellent surprise. Not for the faint of heart, this adult show definately rides the line, but has a sense of humor about itself. The Band was solid and having fun, the set and costumes very admirable, some of the best I have seen anywhere, the choreography cohesive and comfortable to the talents of the cast, and the actors rolled with every punch the participatory audience threw at them. If they can work out the acoustics, and sightline issues this productions would be even better. Skip the table seating (its over crowded and too close to see the big picture, plus you arent' given prop bag instructions) and enjoy it from the house. Leave inhibitions at the door and enjoy this racous rock trip! Riff Raff, Columbia, Janet, Brad A+ Collapse
