Praise for New Line's 2002 Production
“New Line's Rocky Horror reminds us vividly of the emotional power actors can exert when they’re in the same room as their audience, even if they’re kidding around.”– Judith Newmark, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
“When it comes to challenging St. Louis theater audiences, to stretching them, exposing them to new stimuli, hardly anyone is in a class with Scott Miller. . . Rocky Horror will bring much-needed light and laughter to downtown.”
– Joe Pollack, KWMU-FM
“Scott Miller directs the New Line production with a grand sense of theater that showcases the campy wit of the musical.”
– Mark Bretz, Laude News
Let's do The Time Warp again.
New Line's season continues with the hilarious, sex-crazed show New Line was made to produce, Richard O'Brien's THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW. This brilliantly creepy, campy satire targets American sexual hang-ups and the excesses of the Sexual Revolution, all told in the language of 1930s sci-fi B-movies, 1950s muscle magazines, and 1970s punk rock.
This celebration of the mad variety of human sexuality and gender is exactly what we need right now, to counteract all the anti-LGBT rage in America today.
The famous story follows the corseted, fish-netted Frank N. Furter, his fellow over-sexed aliens, and his perfect wet dream of a monster, the muscular, blond Rocky Horror, as they sing universally beloved songs like "The Time Warp," "Sweet Transvestite," "Toucha Toucha Touch Me," "Dammit Janet," and also a couple songs that were cut from the cult classic film.
The New Line cast includes Todd Schaefer (as Dr. Frank N. Furter), Rafael Da Costa (Brad Majors), Brittany Kohl (Janet Weiss), Parker Miller (Riff Raff), Victoria Pines (Magenta), Tori Shea Cole (Columbia), Zachary Thompson (Rocky Horror), Christopher Strawhun (Eddie/Dr. Scott), and Katie Orr (Narrator).
The New Line production will be directed by Scott Miller and Chris Moore, with choreography by Chelsie Johnston, music direction by Randon Lane, scenic design by Rob Lippert, and sound design by Ryan Day.
New Line last produced Rocky Horror in 2002. Rocky Horror is produced by arrangement with Concord Theatricals, New York.
