Rome’s wildest theatrical party
The Rocky Horror Show is back!
“Don’t dream it, be it.” This season, Teatro Brancaccio brings that iconic Rocky Horror spirit to life as it hosts The Rocky Horror Show—the cult musical that has thrilled, shocked, and delighted audiences around the world for fifty years. With its explosive blend of rock music, outrageous characters, and unstoppable energy, this show is also a cultural phenomenon, and has a true tribe of fans.
The production, directed by Christopher Luscombe, invites theatergoers into a dazzling non-stop party, complete with timeless hits like “Sweet Transvestite,” “Damn It Janet,” and the iconic “Time Warp.” The plot follows Brad and Janet, a wholesome young couple who, stranded by a storm, stumble into a sinister castle. There they encounter the eccentric Dr. Frank-N-Furter and his scandalous experiment, plunging them into a whirlwind of temptation, liberation, and unapologetic fun.
What makes The Rocky Horror Show unique is the way it breaks down the wall between stage and audience. Fans don’t just watch—they participate, shouting lines back at the cast, dressing in flamboyant costumes, and dancing in the aisles. Since its 1975 film adaptation, the tradition has grown into a global ritual, making every performance feel like a collective celebration. Shows are in English.
