"The Rocky Horror Show" Original London Cast

Iconic British Musical Theatre Ensemble

"The Rocky Horror Show" Original London Cast refers to the ensemble of actors and musicians who performed in the original 1973 production of "The Rocky Horror Show," a musical stage production that premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in London. The show, with music, lyrics, and book by Richard O'Brien, is a humorous tribute to the science fiction and horror B movies of the late 1940s through to the early 1970s. It tells the story of a young couple who stumble upon the bizarre abode of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, an alien transvestite scientist. The original production was directed by Jim Sharman and became an immediate success, leading to several international productions and a 1975 film adaptation titled "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." The original cast included Tim Curry as Dr. Frank-N-Furter, Richard O'Brien as Riff Raff, Patricia Quinn as Magenta, Nell Campbell as Columbia, and Julie Covington as Janet Weiss, among others. The show's enduring popularity has led to countless revivals, a devoted fan following, and a legacy as one of the most well-known cult musicals of all time.
