Richard O'Brien's The Rocky Horror Show LIVE at The Limelight

05.13.2009

Limelight Theatre will be rocking to the Time Warp when Richard O’Brien’s The Rocky Horror Show takes the stage June 4 – 20.  This long running musical originally opened in 1973 in London and was made into the 1975 Rocky Horror Picture Show and is still being shown in movie theaters to this day.

 

Due to the nature of the show, adult audiences are definitely recommended for this cult classic.  Protagonists Brad and Janet suffer car troubles during a driving rainstorm and are forced to take refuge at a spooky old castle.  When they enter the castle, they are helplessly thrust into a bizarre world featuring murderous mad scientists, transvestites and lots and lots of fishnets. 

 

“The Rocky Horror Show is just incredible,” said Limelight Artistic Director Beth Lambert, who is also directing the show. “It’s loud, funny, raucous and bawdy. And it’s definitely not a show meant for young or sensitive viewers.”

 

Cast members include Brennan  Holness, Jessica Alexander, Blake Osner, Catlin Ward, Jimmy Alexander, Milan Alley, Cathy O’Brien, Leonard Alterman, Thomas Muniz, Sean Dean, Rae Wilson, Hope Ausiello, Butler Robertson, Samantha Perez, Dylan Curran, Haleigh Owens, Daniel Vargas and Rachel Robertson.  Shelli Long is Musical Director. 

 

The Rocky Horror Show runs Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30.  There is a special 11 pm show on Saturday, June 20.  Tickets are $25, with discounts available for students, seniors and military. Special group rates are available.

 

One of the performances is already sold out, so reservations are strongly suggested and may be made by phoning the box office at 904-825-1164 or online at www.limelight-theatre.org.  The Limelight Theatre is located at 11 Old Mission Avenue in uptown St. Augustine.  The Box Office is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 am – 4 pm.
