Product Description

"If you'd care for a little more, why not turn over?" - Dr Frank N Furter.

London,1973: a new rock musical is premiered in a tiny theatre in Chelsea. Nothing remarkable about that; musicals open - and close - all the time. But almost 30 years later, The Rocky Horror Picture Show has grossed more than £100 million on its way to becoming the most successful cult film and stage show in history.

For the first time, the show's creator, its composer, the original stars of both stage and screen versions (household names like Meat Loaf, Susan Sarandon, Richard O'Brien, James Bond star Charles Gray, Tim Curry and countless others), the producers, technical directors and production crew reveal what it was like to be part of a cultural phenomenon. For some, it was the highlight of their careers; others disowned the project on completion. But nobody can ignore its success. Including original cast photos, unseen stage directions and movie scripts, this is the definitive account in the creators' own words.

Customer Reviews

This is a must of you are a RHS fan!!
This is a book that covers everything from the very first day til the cult it is today. It is interviews with most people involved in the concept - making it a cult - and some great pictures! There are no words to describe this book, you'll have to buy it and enjoy it as much as I did!

Very interesting read
I found this book fascinating. Although thorough, it is not just for obsessives, and would interest people who simply enjoy the movie or show.

Great book!
I love this book and other fans will too! However I should say that the only people who would enjoy this book are the die-hard rocky horror fans.
This book has lots of information and the `glitter' incident is just hilarious. There is so much information that after reading the book it's likely you will only remember the story's you found most interesting however it's defiantly worth a read. This book also makes an excellent gift for the rocky horror fans out there.
