Let’s do the Time Warp again!
To this day, it is still a catchy tune and the starting point for a journey into the other me. The Rocky Horror Show has been thrilling generations for more than 50 years with its frivolous story. Let’s do the Time Warp again!
In the early 1970s, British actor and author Richard O’Brien came up with this musical full of glamour, sex and breaking taboos. It premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in London in June 1973.
The Rocky Horror Show deals with topics such as the fun of sex, love and trans identities. The young bridal couple Brad and Janet end up in a castle after a flat tyre in a thunderstorm and enter a new world. Social moral concepts are questioned – always with a sense of fun and a certain tongue-in-cheek.
From flat tyre to transvestite
Today, Brad, Janet and, above all, the main character Frank N Furter remind us to discover our own erotic thoughts and desires instead of suppressing them. For 50 years, Richard O’Brien’s story has been bringing generations together in an uninhibited atmosphere to experience a night without taboos.
That’s possible from 22 December at the Salzburg State Theatre. Until 6 January 2025, Rocky, Eddie, RiffRaff and co. will be telling their story of lust and love on stage. It’s the perfect opportunity to celebrate the musical with your friends and say ‘Let’s do the Time Warp again!’
A little tip from personal experience: tickets for the musical make the perfect Christmas present. So don your fishnet stockings and red feather boa, and never forget: ‘Don’t dream it. Be it.’ Sebastian Brandstätter
Salzburg State Theatre 22 December 2024 to 6 January 2025 Tickets for The Rocky Horror Show are available here.
