Everyone remembers their first time. It’s unforgettable, isn’t it? The awkward energy as you are surrounded by more experienced people just looking for a good time and showing the virgins how to do it. There’s no denying that seeing The Rocky Horror Picture Show live with a shadow cast is a life-changing experience that you definitely have to see to believe. It’s something that both hosts Brian Kitson and RJ Miller-Zelinko have participated in until the recent showing of the cult classic at The Fisher Theatre! In honor of the 49th anniversary of the film, Broadway in Detroit threw a proper Rocky Horror party with all the bells and whistles people have come to expect from a production such as this!
Joining our Box Seat Babes in this episode of The Cosmic Curtain is special guest Kylie Wieand, who has attended more screenings of The Rocky Horror Picture Show than she can count on her hands, serving as our resident expert about all things Rocky Horror. Listen as these three break down all the thrills and chills of the film, how the shadow cast and props add to the experience, and if they would attend another showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. And, of course, they share some of the audience’s discussion with the legendary Patricia Quinn, who starred in both the film and the original stage production as Magenta.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show stars Tim Curry as Dr. Frank-n-furter, Susan Sarandon as Janet, Barry Bostwick as Brad, and Patricia Quinn as Magenta! You can stream this cult classic on Hulu!
