THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW
October 4 – 27, 2002 – Hey City Theater
Written by – Richard O’Brien
The Rocky Horror Show, the biggest, baddest and most orgasmic rock ‘n roll musical ever, celebrates its 30th electrifying year! Still keeping it up after all this time, Frank-N-Furter, Brad, Janet and all the crew invite you to join them, if you dare, for an evening filled with delicious delights! The wonderful score features timeless classics including “Sweet Transvestite”, “Dammit Janet” and the pelvic-thrusting “Time Warp”. The Rocky Horror Show is the perfect party night out. You’ve seen it on the big screen; now see it live on stage. It really would be a sin to miss it!

Reviews and Quotes
“This production, under Steven Meerdink’s direction, makes some nods to the film version (you can shout out lines and dance, but you can’t throw toast at the actors). But it essentially brings this campy classic back to its roots and reminds audiences that the heart of the work is its contagious and extravagantly hilarious music. This production of The Rocky Horror Show is energetic, outrageous and an awful lot of fun, and it ably stands on its own.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune
“Meerdink’s production sounds good, and his 14-member ensemble sings well. Music Director Kevin Hansen’s live band does great justice to Richard O’Brien’s super-fun, pop-infused score, which boasts some awesome tunes (including “Science Fiction, Double Feature” and “Time Warp.)” – St. Paul Pioneer Press
