Just got word that you can now buy tickets to see Little City Musical Theatre’s revival of The Rocky Horror Show at the company’s website. The show was one of my best picks of the fall arts menu. Here’s what I wrote last week:
The first thing you need to know is this Rocky Horror is not set to the movie. Note the missing word “picture” in the title. This isn’t one of those live-action role-playing glibfests (though audience participation remains a key part of the fun). Members of the Little City Musical Theatre Company say their production is a radical departure from the cult classic in that it’s a faithful return to the original. The 1975 film is classic. Tim Curry is campy and iconic. So it’s easy to forget the original was meant for the stage. I did. Kudos to Little City for reviving the mid-century musical, assembling a new cast and crew (I’m told the band is kickass), and bringing back to the fore its political and subversive undertones. Another factor of the show is its venue: the Terrace Theatre. There’s enough space between the first row of seats of the facility’s largest theater and the big screen for a portable stage. Given the energy and drive I saw during Little City’s debut show last spring, Songs for a New World, I’m confident this new venture will be worthwhile.
