"Don't dream it, be it"
Newlyweds Brad and Janet are on their way to visit their former history professor and friend Dr. Everett Scott. A flat tire and a violent thunderstorm throw a spanner in the works. Their luck seems to be in when they spot a castle nearby and ask for help. But instead of the urgently needed access to a telephone, they receive an invitation from the devilishly seductive lord of the castle, Frank N'Furter, to attend the birth in the laboratory of his lust object Rocky, freshly created from a test tube. Brad and Janet quickly succumb to the master's fascination and the erotic atmosphere in which all their bourgeois beliefs about love, marriage and sexuality are questioned. Uninhibited, they throw them overboard. But when Janet seduces the lord of the castle's ultimate object of lust, she unleashes a maelstrom of desire, passion, blood and revenge from which no one can escape.
Time for the weirdest party in musical history. Suspenders, corsets, newspapers, toilet paper, confetti and more are waiting to be used: no other musical is celebrated by the audience in such an interactive way.
