Let’s do the time warp again! OutFront Kalamazoo presents the Rocky Horror Picture Show enhanced movie experience at the Kalamazoo State Theatre on Saturday, October 14. This 1975 musical horror comedy film will come to life with a live shadow cast (that’s actors acting in front of the screen during the film) performed by the WMU Department of Theatre!

The Rocky Horror Picture Show is rated R. Viewer discretion is advised.

Come as a spectator or give yourself over to absolute pleasure by upgrading to the full VIP experience! Join Brad, Janet, Frank N. Furter, Riff Raff, Magenta, Colombia, and Eddie in the Kalamazoo State Theatre “Castle”!

Playing continuously since it’s release in 1975, Rocky Horror is the longest running movie in history.  Starring Tim Curry as the kinky yet endearing “transsexual from Transylvania” Dr. Frank N. Furter, Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick as his hapless guests Brad and Janet, Meat Loaf as motorcycle-riding rough trade and author Richard O’Brien as the hunchbacked butler Riff Raff. It’s harmless musical fun—a delightful spoof of Hollywood horror movies and Old Dark House melodramas. The Rocky Horror Picture Show was the first—and is still the best—interactive movie experience!
