About the show
It’s our Pop-Rock/Punk-Art twist of Richard O’Brien’s classic story.
Newly engaged Brad and Janet seek help after a flat tire strands them in a storm. Their rescue, the castle of Dr. Frank‑N‑Furter, plunges them into a glitter‑soaked fever dream of rock‑and‑roll, mad science, and unbridled desire. With a chorus of phantoms, a glam‑punk soundtrack, and the birth of the “perfect” specimen Rocky, this cult‑classic musical hilariously dismantles every notion of “normal.”
Audition Prep
Prepare one minute of a contemporary rock or musical‑theatre song in the style of the show.
Please provide a backing track for your audition.
Bring your headshot, resume if you have one.
