The Rocky Horror Picture Show at Majestic Theatre
When The Rocky Horror Picture Show was released on video for the first time in 1990, some considered it the end of a vibrant cinematic subculture. But watching the film at home, away from the running commentary of Rocky Horrorcultists, has never been quite the same experience. Future Oscar-winner Susan Sarandon gives a spirited (and nearly nude) performance as a newlywed who winds up in Dr. Frank-N-Furter's castle after her and her husband's car breaks down. The songs in this horror-musical include "Dammit Janet," "The Time Warp," and "Sweet Transvestite," all of which tie into the elaborate audience participation that's evolved around the film over the years.
