The Rocky Horror Show opening tonight, transvestite mad-scientist Frank N Furter sports a shock of electric blue hair along with his trademark pearl necklace.
The Rocky Horror Show, a parody of old-timey horror flicks written by a British-Kiwi playwright, has been performed in over 30 countries since its 1973 premier in London and the 1975 cult favourite film adaptation, The Rocky Horror Picture ShowSweet Transvestite, I Can Make You a Man and Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch MeThe Rocky Horror ShowRocky HorrorRomeo and Juliet and the Vagina Monologues, which the group put on last year, Rocky Horror Show performances are known for their rowdiness.
Fans shout out lines in sync with actors and sing along with exaggerated gusto. While it was all encouraged, said Glew, it was nevertheless distracting for performers.
Another challenge was the sheer energy Rocky Horror will be playing six evening performances at the Russian Cultural Center on Norodom Boulevard from March 25 to April 2. Tickets can be purchased for $10 at the Willow Hotel, Garden Cafe, Box Office bar, Laneway Guest House and online at Your Phnom Penh.com. Proceeds will go to the advocacy NGO Rainbow Community Kampuchea.
