Overview

Celebrate the 50 years of The Rocky Horror Show, the most acclaimed musical in the world!

50 years of The Rocky Horror Show , the cult musical par excellence, the show that left an indelible mark on its audience, the longest running contemporary musical in the world. Sexually liberating , transgressive with no ifs, ands or buts, musically rooted in international pop culture, The Rocky Horror Show is a non-stop, unrestrained party . Translated into over 20 languages , since 1973 it has made over 30 million viewers sing, dance, dream and liberate in over 30 countries.

The Rocky Horror Show has seduced entire generations of spectators with its transgressiveness, conquering even the most upright right-thinking people and transforming them into devoted fans with corset and fishnet stockings. After more than 40 years Richard O'Brien never ceases to overwhelm, involve, subvert the rules; he shows no sign of stopping the success and carefree joy that he gives to his audience night after night. And this is how the Rocky, precisely because of the enthusiasm and participation of its audience, turns into a great non-stop party every evening made up of those timeless hits that everyone, at least once, has let themselves be carried away by, like “Sweet Transvestite”, “Damn it Janet” and “Time Warp”. 

After last year's resounding success and sold-out, the 2023 international tour arrives once again in Milan, with an extraordinary cast ready to light up the nights of the TAM for “The sexiest and funniest show in town ” – Evening Standard.

DON'T DREAM IT, BE IT!

History
Premiere of this production: 19 June 1973, Royal Court Theatre (Upstairs), West End, London

The Rocky Horror Show is a musical with music, lyrics, and a book by Richard O'Brien. A humorous tribute to the science fiction and horror B movies of the 1930s through to the early 1960s, the musical tells the story of a newly engaged couple getting caught in a storm and coming to the home of a mad transvestite scientist, Dr. Frank-N-Furter, unveiling his new creation, a sort of Frankenstein-style monster in the form of an artificially made, fully grown, physically perfect muscle man named Rocky, complete "with blond hair and a tan".
