The enfant terrible of musical theatre!

The enfant terrible of musical theatre

It's that time again for the biggest party and the naughtiest fun in musical history: RICHARD O'BRIEN'S ROCKY HORROR SHOW is coming back to Zurich with unashamed speed, outrageous glamour and plenty of sex appeal. Theater 11. Directed by the creator of the show, Richard O'Brien himself, this is the most outrageous fun you can experience on stage, celebrated euphorically by the audience and enthusiastically like no other musical in the world. And that means: suspenders and stilettos are back in fashion in the theatres! With unrivalled eccentricity and hits like ‘The Time Warp’, ‘Sweet Transvestite’ and many more, the outrageous story of the young, straitlaced couple Brad Majors and Janet Weiss and the diabolical alien Dr. Frank'n'Furter takes its course. Booing, waving lights and splashing water are all allowed!

 

With Nik Hartmann as the narrator!

From the outset, there was nothing quite like The Rocky Horror Show: shortly after its premiere in London in 1973, it became a global phenomenon. Its influence on drag shows, rock bands, theatre and the burlesque scene to this day is incalculable. Even after more than 50 years, RICHARD O'BRIEN'S ROCKY HORROR SHOW still dares to ‘time warp’ back to its roots – to B-movies, burlesque and glam rock – and in doing so, gets to the very essence of the piece.
