THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW 49TH ANNIVERSARY SPECTACULAR TOUR

Thursday, October 24, 2024

The Rocky Horror Picture Show, the longest-running theatrical release in film history, celebrates its 49th anniversary with a national tour that will be live at the Louisville Palace Theatre on Saturday, Oct. 12, 2024.

Fans will be able to meet and talk with Barry Bostwick, acclaimed star of this original cult classic in person. Bostwick’s iconic portrayal of “Brad Majors” has thrilled generations of fans for nearly 50 years.

Bostwick explains why The Rocky Horror Picture Show’s is one of film history’s most enduring classics:

“It’s fun, noisy and rude and only exists today because of the dedicated fan base and incredible “shadow casts” from around the world. They make spectacular entertainment at every show. It is nicely naughty!!! They bring the party. They invite you to participate. It's rock and roll !!!” said Bostwick.

He succinctly captures the movie’s multi-generational appeal:

“Three generations of party goers have passed it down from one to another. It is a rite of passage from innocence to understanding and questioning!” commented Bostwick.

The show will also feature a costume contest, a performance by the local Shadow Cast and a memorabilia display with artifacts and costumes from the movie. The Shadow Cast hilariously acts out the movie on stage while the movie plays on screen.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show is the iconic little movie that conquered Hollywood. The hit movie stars Tim Curry as the devious and fabulous Frank-N-Furter, Meatloaf, Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon as everybody's favorite nerdy couple – Brad and Janet – and the film's creator Richard O'Brien as Riff Raff. The film has become one of the longest weekly showing movies in the world. The 2024 National Tour gives fans the chance to experience in-person this very special interactive sensation in-person.

Limited VIP tickets are available and include a meet and greet with Barry Bostwick. Nothing beats a Rocky Horror screening where you can jump up and dance to the time warp in this live, interactive experience. It's a one of a kind "happening". Come up to the lab and see what's on the slab!
