Rocky Horror Tribute Show DVD

The Rocky Horror Show with music and lyrics by Richard O'Brien was born at the Royal Court's tiny Theatre Upstairs on June 16 1973 and went on to become an international stage smash hit and a major film. Richard O'Brien's Rocky Horror Tribute Show is a concert featuring the music from The Rocky Horror Show and was recorded at the Royal Court London in May 2006 to an audience of faithful Rocky Horror fans. Richard O'Brien rewrote the narration for the show and a cast of performers was put together some from the original show and others who have appeared in productions... during its 33-year history. Richard O'Brien Patricia Quinn Little Nell and Rayner Bourton members of the original stage cast and are back together for the first time. They are joined by one of the best Frank-N-Furters ever Anthony Head as well as original Transylvanians from the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Also featured are a host of famous names as singers and narrators including Michael Ball Adrian Edmondson Sophie Lawrence Toyah Wilcox Stephen Gately Tony Slattery Robin Cousins Christopher Biggins and Jamie Theakston. The Rocky Horror Show is a magical phenomenon unlike anything ever seen before on stage or screen. Borrowing largely from cinema's horror conventions the story begins as an innocent young couple Brad and Janet are stranded at the castle of a mad scientist who is building the perfect man. The castle is filled with a most bizarre group of characters who worship their master Dr. Frank-N-Furter in leather jacket pearls fishnet stockings and heavy makeup. Brad and Janet are forced to examine their own sexuality as the voluptuous doctor releases the hidden desires in each of them. The show features unforgettable song-and-dance numbers such as 'Time Warp' and 'Sweet Transvestite' which have come to represent the sexual liberation of the 1970s. Contributions from the sale of this DVD will go to Amnesty International. [show more]
