The show promises fun, games, extravagant costumes and a dose of sensuality. “The Rocky Horror Show” defies the norms and is a theatrical experience that no theater lover should miss.
Audience participation: a unique experience
What distinguishes “The Rocky Horror Show” from other musicals is the active participation of the audience. Spectators are not mere observers, but become an integral part of the work. Over the 50-year history of this musical, traditions have been established that include audience participation.
One of the most notorious traditions is when attendees stand up and participate in a simple but fun choreography during the show.
In addition, interaction with the actors is encouraged and sexual comments and jokes to the narrator are part of the experience. These moments always take place with respect and within the limits established by the show.
A different play, for a different audience. Enjoy it and have a good time.
