The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let's Do the Time Warp Again
At the start of this production, a female usher sings outside a movie theater. She goes inside as others arrive to see the movie. She goes behind the concession stand counter, where prices are ridiculously low, but judging from the music, clothing styles and cars, maybe this is supposed to be the 60s.
Storyline
At the start of this production, a female usher sings outside a movie theater. She goes inside as others arrive to see the movie. She goes behind the concession stand counter, where prices are ridiculously low, but judging from the music, clothing styles and cars, maybe this is supposed to be the 60s.
She shines her flashlight on a couple in the theater, so they start kissing. Then the main feature begins. Tim Curry, known for his role in the original, sits behind a desk and occasionally narrates. With him is a woman dressed for business success 1980s-style, with a Sia wig and too much makeup. And the real movie starts. A bride and groom exit a beautiful old church resembling Duke University chapel except the Gothic tower is in the middle, not the back. They leave in a '61 Ford Falcon. Brad has something special to say to Janet. Was there a funeral going on at the same time as the wedding? It appeared the viewer wasn't really supposed to notice them, but the funeral participants follow Brad and Janet to the cemetery and sing along as Brad proposes. Brad and Janet leave in their car. It's dark and rainy. They see the biker. Then the road dead-ends and they get a flat tire. The two head for a castle that is nearby. And then the fun begins. The Frankenstein-type creation named Rocky is introduced, with Tom Hanks' face, Billy Idol's hair and Arnold Schwarznegger's body. The heroes have to escape. But how? And then Janet falls for Rocky, and Frank falls for both Brad and Janet he's trisexual and Scott shows up in a wheelchair. And things get weird.
