""So much about what makes Rocky Rocky is also true about Studio 54. It is spectacular, maximalist, and sparkly, but also cheap, dirty, DIY, and decaying to a certain degree.""
""I decided to let Rocky be Rocky, let Studio 54 be Studio 54, and smash them into each other without hiding either.""
The Rocky Horror Show revival opened on April 23, 2026, at Studio 54, featuring a star-studded cast including Stephanie Hsu and Juliette Lewis. Directed by Sam Pinkleton, the production maintains the spirit of the original 1975 film while embracing the unique atmosphere of the legendary nightclub. Pinkleton emphasizes the connection between the show and Studio 54, highlighting their shared qualities of spectacle and a certain rawness. The revival aims to celebrate both the musical's legacy and the venue's storied history.
