The Rocky Horror Picture Show, released on September 25, 1975, initially struggled at the box office but later became a celebrated midnight movie sensation. To mark its 50th anniversary, cast members are touring North America, bringing fans together for movie screenings with interactive elements. Events include costume contests and performances by a shadow cast. Barry Bostwick and Patricia Quinn reflected on the show's impact on cultural acceptance and their initial auditions, noting its lasting legacy and the fun it brings to audiences.
"Each stop on the tour includes a costume contest and a screening of the film, with a 'shadow cast' of locals performing scenes in front of the screen- which is to say, it's a glitzier, starrier version of your classic midnight movie screening."
"Fifty years ago, I auditioned for The Rocky Horror Show at the 60-seat Royal Court Theatre Upstairs in London. I asked my agent, 'What's it about?' He replied, 'Something to do with science fiction.'"
