“It’s not easy having a good time.” Dr. Frank-N-Furter (Tim Curry) couldn’t have been more wrong becauseThe Rocky Horror Picture Show: The 48th Anniversary Spectacular Touris making the rounds for Halloween 2023. And fans can celebrate the spookiest of all seasons watchingTRHPSthis year alongside the film’s stars Barry Bostwick and Patricia Quinn. Check out the promotional posters for the month-long celebrations below:
Bostwick and Quinn will be anchoring different legs ofThe 48th Anniversary Spectacular Touracross the United States and Canada all month long, untilTRHPSevent finally reaches the Lincoln Theatre in Washington, D.C. on Halloween night. This will be the one and only tour date to feature both actors from the 1975 classic, while the others will feature just one of theRocky Horroralums.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. EDT and the show starts at 8 p.m. Bostwick famously played the “a—hole” Brad Majors, while Quinn brought the fiery red-headed Magenta to life on the Silver Screen. Bostwick said in a press release (perKTAR News):
“Forty-eight years ago, Susan Sarandon and I jumped off a plane in London and into a world we never could have expected to be honoring and celebrating all these years later. A family of weirdos and consummate professionals. ‘Rocky’ has changed lives, not just ours, and had a profound effect on how we accept our differences in this world. We were fitted for our corsets and high heels and enthusiastically started singing songs that have endured for all these years. And ‘Dammit Janet’! I have made nerds cool.”
If you can’t make the All Hallows’ Eve celebration in Washington, D.C., there are plenty of opportunities to meet Bostwick and/or Quinn separately at48th Anniversary Spectacular Tourperformances all across North America. But for now, check out the video promoting the tour’s next stop on Tuesday, October 10 at the Robins Theatre in Warren, Ohio below:
