That sweet transvestite and his motley crew are back for the “Time Warp,” and it’s better than ever, baby!
Richard O’Brien’s legendary campy horror and comedy musical takes to the stage at Key West’s Waterfront Playhouse now through Friday, October 25, for a wild ride you don’t want to miss.
What, you’ve never heard about Rocky Horror?
This raunchy 48-year-old B-movie-inspired cult show follows the misadventures of two squeaky-clean college kids: Brad and his naive fiancée Janet. When, by a twist of fate, their car breaks down outside a creepy mansion, they meet the charismatic Dr. Frank-N-Furter, along with a host of crazy, quirky, and horny characters, including “Rocky,” an artificially made young beefcake, wearing nothing but skimpy gold lame briefs, who launches into song during his first minute of life. Through it all, the mansion’s inhabitants sing and dance through a bacchanalian romp of murder, bisexuality, and cannibalism.
Phillip Cole White plays alien transvestite Dr. Frank-N-Furter, who struts about the stage with a delicious amount of sass and confidence. He is every inch the schlocky, deviant, mad scientist, psychopath, and cross-dressing alien we’ve all come to know and love from this cult classic.
The show features timeless classics, including Sweet Transvestite, Damn it Janet, and of course, the pelvic-thrusting Time Warp. FYI: Dressing up is a must, so break out the sequins, corsets, and stockings. Info and tickets: 305-294-5015; waterfrontplayhouse.org.
