October 11, 2011. Toronto, ON... After last year's sold out run, THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW is back at the Lower Ossington Theatre (The LOT) by popular demand! Playing October 20 to October 31 (Thurs-Sat at 8pm, Fri & Sat at 11pm, plus a special 8pm Halloween show on October 31), this raunchy riot has seduced audiences all over the world for more than thirty years - so whether you’re a die-hard fan or a Rocky Virgin, it’s time to celebrate this pop-culture phenomenon like never before.
A story of love, lust, manipulation, seduction, submission, domination, creation, satisfaction, biological advancement and simultaneous orgasm, THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW follows the bizarre adventures of the super-square Brad Majors (Corey Strong) and his amazingly virginal fiancée, Janet Weiss (Amanda Milligan). Rebecca Perry as the Narrator guides us as they fight to survive the diabolical Riff-Raff (Brian Gregory), his incestuously fashionable sister Magenta (Jeni Walls), her rockin’ best friend Columbia (Jordie Currie), unlucky ex-delivery boy Eddie (Hillary Wilson), the pectorally perfect Rocky (Graham Parkhurst), and the world's most powerful but sweet transvestite: Frank 'N' Furter (Adam Norrad) - who will change their lives and libidos forever!
Featuring unforgettable numbers like “Sweet Transvestite”, ‘”Dammit Janet’” and “The Time Warp” THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW is full of hard-driving, raunchy rock ballads that have become classics in the four decades since the musical first thrust itself onto the world stage. Musical Director Robert Wilkenson and Choreographer Stephan Dickson bring the world’s favourite rock ‘n’ roll musical back with a vengeance!
The Lower Ossington Theatre is dedicated to providing performance opportunities for Toronto's best and brightest emerging talent. The LOT is also home to the Toronto Youth Theatre, a non-profit organization that gives young performers the opportunity to work in a professional theatre atmosphere. Several cast members of THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW are graduates of the Toronto Youth Theatre.
With this production, the Lower Ossington Theatre continues its transition from a flexible multi-use arts venue to a full scale producing company. THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW is the second of four exciting musicals to be mounted by the company this season. Keep an eye out for Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat for the holiday season, and Avenue Q to kick off the New Year in 2012.
