Audience mostly high school and college students. Some cast members have an awful sense of timing. Virgins are married before sacrificed. (We have morals... NOT :) Rialto - So. Pasadena, CA Sat, Midnight, runs about 8 months per year Comments: This place is in the National Registry of Historical Landmarks. It is one of the few remaining original vaudville theatres, complete with orchestra pit, bizarre pseudo-Egyptian decore, and gaudy paint. The balcony is usually closed. You might recognize it, because it has been used in _many_ motion pictures. I recall at least Kentucky Fried Movie being filmed there. It has been several years since I saw Rocky Horror there, but they still line up every Saturday. Comments: "The Player" is the best known most recent film which takes place at the Rialto. Varsity Theatre - Palo Alto, CA Sat, Midnight, $6.75; $3.75 if in RHPS costume. Phone: 415-323-6411 (program info recording) 415-323-6431 (box office) Comments: A very large (~800 seat?) vintage theatre with a full stage. The cast, Erotic Nightmares, just celebrated its 6th anniversary. SouthBay Galleria General Cinemas - Redondo Beach, CA Cast: "Tonight's Menu", Cinema 3 at midnight on Saturday (or thereabouts) Cost: $5, Props: Everything except rice, tortillas, and open flame. Directions: 405 to Hawthorne Blvd. Theatre is nestled beside a mall (The Galleria) between Artesia and 182nd about a mile SouthWest of the freeway on Hawthorne. Comments: The theatre is a large commercial (500 seat) theatre with no atmosphere, but the cast makes every attempt to get the audience in the "Rocky" mood. A stage is set up in the front of the theatre and professional lighting is used to illuminate the actors. Prior to the show is what has been described as "one of the most continuously original pre-shows ever done" where virgins are sacrificed in different ways each week. There is usually a social smoke-fest in the lobby where regulars tend to ignore long stretches of the movie. The cast is open and very friendly with the audience. "Tonight's Menu" is 3 years old. UC Berkeley - Berkeley, CA Sat, Midnight, $6.00 Comments: It's about 5 blocks below UCB. The cast is excellent and it is considered the best cast in the country (so say the fan club in NY). We have official virgin hunters outside the theater before the show. The virgins are marked with "V" or "Fuck Me" in lipstick on their faces so that they can be easily identified by those with rice and other projectiles. We also have Super Heroes in the uncut version of the film. We also show shorts or music videos before the main feature. Sometimes the cast isn't there, but we have a good time anyway. About four times a year we have lengerie night complete with a competition for the best outfit. Other goofy things are known to happen, like last night when the entire cast was dressed as Star Trek characters who had been forced to play out the roles of RH. Our next lengerie night is tentatively scheduled for early July. Comments: Berkeley has been running the longest of them all.. Camera One - San Jose, CA Sat, Midnight Phone: 408-294-3800 Mayfair Theatre - Ottawa, CAN Show RHPS two or three times a month Palace - Montreal, Canada St. Catherine St. W. Flatiron - Boulder, CO Every other week (?) Phone: 303-442-1944. Comments: The theater is at the corner of 13th Street and College, just one block from the CU-Boulder campus. It seems to show only every two weeks. The cast is called Deep Throat Nine, and they are a crazy bunch: they yell backa t the audience and throw things at them, including a two-quart pitcher of water in the water-cooler scene in Sweet Transvestite. Before the show are cast-lead cheers and songs and jokes. No Super Heroes. A lot less structure than the show at Berkeley CA. Comments: Rocky does play at the FlatIrons in Boulder, CO, everyother weekend, unless the manager decides he doesn't want a bunch of happy transvestites in his theater that weekend and says the projector or broken. Esquire - Denver, CO 6th and Downing street. addmission : $6.00 time : 11:45 theatre lets in 12:00 virgin stuff and rules 12:15 Show starts Every saterday night Comments: Not the best show in the world, but has been improving steadily Only cast and crew is allowed on stage. Our theatre is dry and no open flames (flamming ok) allowed. all other props OK. we distribute "Official Certificates of Non-Virginity" to those recently popped. Audience participation scripts with OUR lines also available for the cost of copies. We have also been running a small spotlight for 6 months with limited success. Our film has superheros intact, high quality print (no glitches). try outs are held regulary for new players, If coming into town with some notice, drop me a line, we may be able to arrange something. our theatre seats 200, we have 25-75 on average. Contact: Leo Lionetti lionetti@beethoven.cs.colostate.edu Aggie Theater - Ft. Collins, CO Price: $4.00 Comments: Rocky Horror has returned to the Aggie Theatre in Fort Collins Colorado. The theatre is located at 204 S. College. The show is organized by the Rocky Horror Society at Colorado State University. The show is $4.00. The cast The Rocky Whores is well rehearsed and features the best frank in the state. Preshow festivities include the S&M Man and "Let's fake an orgasm." Due to the addition of new seats to the theatre, it is a no fire or water allowed show. Flashlights are encouraged during "There's a Light". The Show most recently played Oct 29,30, and Nov 5,6. It should be back around April 1, the aniversary of Rocky's re-release as a midnight movie. York Square - New Haven, CT Fri & Sat, 11:30, $5.50 Comments: Brand new print with Super Heroes. Southport - Ft. Lauderdale, FL Saturdays at midnight, $6 Comments: Tremendous dinner-theater type place. Audience actually sits at tables, and there are waiters who actually bring food and drink (even beer!) during the performance. Upon entry, you receive a bag containing toast and rice. Audience is rather unruly (due to being somewhat drunk), but the cast is usually very good. (Note I said usually.) The pre-show is interesting... sometimes the actor playing Brad will play "Great Balls of Fire" on the actress playing Magenta, sometimes Brad will lip synch "The Masochism Tango" with Frank. They used to have a Friday show, but I hear tell that they've cancelled it. Northlake 8 - Atlanta, GA Comments: If you are looking for a really professional cast, might I suggest the Northlake 8 in Atlanta. The cast really does a good job (and, I played Brad/Riff/Magenta there for a year prior to moving to Gainesville). The Northlake 8 is a great theater! For directions, just take I-75 to Northlake Drive and head east. You cannot miss the Mall, it is on the right side of Northlake Drive, and the AMC is near Toys-R-Us. Tell them Tom Servo sent ya! Ask for Kim McFarland, she is the area Rep of the Nat'l Fan Club, as well as a teriffic Frank! Comments: I've been preforming at the Northlake AMC 8 theatre in Atlanta GA for the last 4 years now, mostly as Brad Majors, but have played every part at least 2 times. We have a VERY good, and you could say a more 'professional' cast than most places (id assume). We preform every friday and Saturday night at approx 12:30 p.m. at the Northalke Festival AMC 8 theatre off of LaVista Rd near I-285 in Atlanta, GA. We welcome all types and persuasions, and are always looking for fresh flesh... erm.. new cast members. :> The Georgia Theater - Athens, GA Comments: It used to be a regular movie house but now it is a bar...which still occasionally shows movies. There is a big stage and the balcony is, so far as I've seen, always open. They put on RHPS once per academic quarter and I believe the admission is $2. A group of RHPS players just recently formed and performed for the first time at the winter quarter show. Because the theater is generally a club, there is a wet bar and smoking is allowed during the show. If you don't want to sit in the regular (well worn) seats, there are tables and standing room in the back by the bar. The management is very cool about all the stuff fans like to do and ask only that you do not touch the screen. The crowd tends to be almost exclusively college students, since Athens is a college town. It's a great time for $2. The Wave - Honolulu, HI Last Saturday of the month, 8:00pm, *FREE* Comments: Here is a great deal for any Rocky fan if they are planning a trip to Hawaii. If you are in town on the last Saturday of the month a club called "The Wave" plays the movie for free. The only problem with this showing is that there is no cast to speak of, and that the show begins at 8:00 p.m. or there about. There are us few regulars that go almost every month and we are starting to get more to come to the show. Who knows we might get a cast on of these days. Henenway Theater - University of Hawaii Manoa campus, HI Saturday at midnight, $4.00 Varsity Theatre - Ames, IA Two showings a year. They are on Halloween and the day before. Greenbriar Theater - Indianapolis, IN Sat. Midnight $4.00 Comments: We are an up-and-comming cast that has been around for a while but is just now getting up on our feet. If you have just come to Indiana for college or whatever and are looking for a regular Rocky, we can use some dedicated cast members. We get wild and out of control, but hey, it's Rocky Horror and it is a hell of a time. To get to Greenbriar, take the northern leg of I465, take the Meridian street exit and go south and then turn right onto 86th street and go for several blocks until you get to 86th and Ditch. Harvard Square - Cambridge, MA Midnight on Fri and Sat, $6.75 Comments: Across the street from Harvard. Comments: Cambridge,Mass' "Full Body Cast" puts on the RHPS with a real flair for perfection and, er, eagerness to please. With two full multi- talented companies, plus understudies, many of whom can play more than one role, and whose onstage appearances, costumes, and personas greatly resemble those of their characters, as well as full costumes, lights, props, and security tech crews, this exciting bunch has won popularity among Boston area audiences, and has earned many awards and much acclaim nationwide at RHPS conventions/competitions. The film itself is the original version (with "Super Heroes", and "Science Fiction - Reprise"), and has no breaks or skips. Viewers can exoect a great-looking performance and show, and maybe a few surprises, such as a special visit from "Animal", or "Barney", from Alex/655321, from a member of "the Clown family, or from Ed Norton or Phyllis Diller, or, if they're lucky, a gender-switched role or two, such as a male Columbia, a female Scotty, a male Trixie, or a Criminologist in drag! Show rituals include: 1.) Full musical pre-show, with one or two pre-rehearsed numbers, (e.g. "Y.M.C.A.", "Dude (Looks Like A Lady)", "Hot For Teacher") along with one or two RH faves (stage versions), usually "Time Warp", and either "Sweet T", "Dammit Janet", or "Hot Patootie", also pre-rehearsed. Numbers change monthly. 2.) Warm-up audience welcome/greeting speech; during which the whole house gets to warm up its wit and wisecracks, due to the "pun-tiful" words of either the (very!) Good Doctor or Commander Riff-Raff. Rules are laid out (LAID??) herein, that is: Rule #1 - "NO PUFTAS" (python), Rule #2 - No burning lighters, matches, flammable hairdos, etc (no "open flames") during "Frankenstein Place", and Rule #3 - No props! No tossing any rice, toast, etc, or using squirt guns (except tossing "off"/ using your "Love Gun" in the bathroom). 3.) One or two virgins get their symoblic "cherries" popped (by way of a nice big shiny red balloon between the legs), and as an extra treat, get to play Betty Hapschatt in the wedding scene. If two picked, either the "lame-ometer" is used to judge who needs it more, or if they're both dead fucks, one pops the other! University of Southern Maine - Portland, ME [ed: shows moved to unspecified date] Capitol - Flint, MI Comments: Does it once a year Uptown - Minneapolis, MN Sat, Midnight Comments: I saw the RHPS there many times growing up: The Uptown is a relatively small theatre with great atmo. Don't try to sneak in alcohol or too much rice, they frisk you at the door. Their motto: "Drink it before you get here." The cast is good, the crowd is odd, as usual, and the people are relatively friendly, if messed up. Comments: They have a fairly new print with "Superheroes" & "SFDF - reprise" at the end. Silver Screen - Biloxi, MS Fri & Sat, Midnight, $4.50 Comments: As I said, they show it every Fri. and Sat. at 12:00. Entry is $4.50, but that includes pizza and beer (if you're of age.) Great theater, primo sound system, HUGE screen...all in all, a great place to see RHPS. Rialto - Raleigh, NC Friday, 11:30 pm The Wild and Untamed Players Comments: Rialto theatre is located at Five points on glenwood Ave in downtown Raleigh. This is one of the best Rocky shows around. I've been to shows in Pittsburgh-Dormont theatre, other NC shows, and even at Prince Charles theatre in London. This show is awesome because of its dynamic nature and its liberal management. All Rocky props are allowed including lighters and water throwing devices. Want to stand up and move around wherever you want, no problem, anything goes! This Rocky features an underwear run, wherin the audience strips and runs around after guess who Rocky! Cool Virgin ritual! Original lines! If you are a visitor from far away, ask someone for a place to stay for the night and go to the party after each show! Cinema 35 - Paramus, NJ Fri & Sat, Midnight, $5.00 Comments: Our cast went to the Rocky Horror mini convention in Washington DC on April 24th. Out of the six of us who went, three of us pulled first places in the costume contest. Out of all the other theatres represented there we were told by all of them that we had the loudest most enthusiastic Rocky crew any of them had ever seen. Even Sal heard some lines he never heard before. Our lines are always up to date. On that weekend we had some David Koresh lines strewn about by us. Our theatre allows most things except it only allows cast members and the five transylvanians we haqve to go up to the first few rows of the theatre and up to the screen. THere are no open flames permited in our theatre (well except for mike but hes okay) so the lighter scene is done with flashlights. We are allowed to throw just about anything. New lines are always welcome. The only problem with our theatre is that our film is falling apart. The entire dinner scene is cut from when Frank turns off the magnet until Eddies Teddy begins. During the wedding scene a huge blue line runs accross the screen back an forth. Its cool sometimes because every so often our film's mess ups lead to new lines. We are currently in the process of getting a new film fron TC Fox. Harwan - Mt. Ephraim, NJ Saturday, midnight, $5.00 Comments: I am a member of the Transducer Players from the Harwan Theater in Mount Ephraim, NJ. We are one of the oldest casts in the country. We are also the only cast in South Jersey. The Transducer Players are pictures on pages 120-121 of Sal's 15th anniversary book, as well as pictured on the back cover with the eastside cinema cast. (That was just after they lost the 8th street playhouse in the village.) We haven't had Friday night shows in over two years. Thank the econnomy for that. What we do have are shows EVERY saturday night at midnight, admition is still only $5.00. The theater itself is a single screen, 640 seat theater complete with stage. It's actually an old vaudville theater. An average show is 200-250 people. We sell out every weekend in october. -- For more info on the Transducer Players, or to subscribe to our weekly newsletter, (Non-profit. Just pay the postage. A stamp a week.) mail to: The Transducer Players 110 Warren Avenue Voorhees, NJ 08043-1235 -- [ed: directions deleted, if you want them, mail me and I'll send them] Brook Theatre - Bound Brook, NJ Comments: The Brook Theatre on Hamiltong Street in Bound Brook, NJ shows Rocky Horror on Friday and Saturday nights. [ed: They have a cast, I met some of them at Age of Consent :) ] Cinema Classics - Redbank, NJ Saturdays Torrey Pines Cinema - Las Vegas, NV Fri-Sat, ca. Midnight, $3.50 Comments: Cast, virgin ceremonies, the usual (?). No Super Heroes. Torrey Pines also runs Heavy Metal, Sid and Nancy, animation, anime, other midnight-type movies on the same schedule. (93 May 14) Amherst - Buffalo, NY $5.00 or $3.50 w/ID Comments: If you're in Buffalo, stop in and visit the cast of "Crazed Imagination" sometime....:) Lockport Mall - Buffalo, NY Price: $5.50 Comments: The crowds are small and the cast is sporadic..but it's fun!! It is off of Transit Rd.,FYI Movieland 8th Street - New York, NY Price - $7.50 (Just like most New York City movies...Yuck) Every Friday and Saturday night Comments: Rocky is still going strong in New York City at Movieland, on 8th St. (Just 1 block from the now closed 8th St. Playhouse). While the cast is constantly changing, there are a few regulars, including several people who date back to the Playhouse, and even the Waverly, before that. Rice isn't allowed, but lighters, and noisemakers are. In fact, they are sold by the cast for people who forgot to bring props. Virgins are sacrificed, sometimes (when time, and the projectionist allow) we have a few pre-show numbers. We have Superheroes. After the show the cast (and as many people as we can drag with us) usually go to Polyesthers (A 70's theme bar with Rocky in the Jukebox). They love us. We usually go in costume, and they put Rocky on the TV when we get there. Cinema East - Nyack, NY Comments: I enjoyed this theater. went there twice. they have a pink panther short at the beginning, and (when i was there) a good cast. mostly the same lines as 8th street playhouse. Jo-Mor's Stoneridge Theater - Rochester, NY Fri & Sat, midnight, $5.00 Comments: I am a former member of the cast that performs here, "Sweet Temptations". When I left, the show had deteriorated to the point of being just not fun anymore--obnoxious management, random horsing around while in costume, etc. However, the cast finally saw the low attendance which resulted from this, and is now trying to get serious and rebuild itself. I'm always willing to give second chances when they're due...so go check 'em out, and give them some well-needed encouragement. Comments: I'm a current member of the cast. It's fairly open, and we're always trying to recruit new cast members. We enjoy good relations with management, the cast and regulars regularly hang out together (after the show, and otherwise), and we interact strongly with our audiences. Cedar Lee - Cleveland Heights, OH Sat, midnight, $6.50 Address 2163 Lee Road Cleveland Heights, OH 44118 Phone +1-216-321-5411 (Show information) +1-216-321-8232 Comments: There is a good show here. People that saw it in other theaters say that this is very good. There is a fine cast and good managment. This is where the editor of this list goes. Avon Lake 4 - Avon Lake, OH Sat, 11:00-11:15pm. $5.00, $3.00 w/costume. Comments: Been playing since July 1993. We sell survival kits for $2. These include a newspaper, party favors, toast, confetti, rice, and any other fun Rocky-related items. Graceland - Columbus, OH Fri & Sat, Midnight, $4.00 (614) 888-3523 Comments: The Rocky Horror Picture Show is playing at the Graceland Twin Cinema in Columbus, Ohio at the Graceland shopping Center off of High Street. It plays both Friday and Saturday nights at midnight (of course) with a live cast both nights (two members of which are writing this message). Price of admission is $4.00, though the cast does get in for free. If you have any questions, call the theatre at (614) 888-3523 and ask for Brian, Mae, or Wendy. If you have any virgins amongst you, ask for Brian, he'll take care of them. P.S. only rice is allowed for audience props! and no fucking rice at the cast!!! Real Movies - Cincinnati, OH Every other weekend Maumee theater - Maumee, OH Every now and then Cla-Zel - Bowling Green, OH Every now and then Clinton Street - Portland, OR Sat, $4.00 with cast, $3.50 without Comments: Shows run every Saterday night with the Caberiet performing about every other weekend. It has been showing RHPS for almost 17 years which I believe makes it the longest running show in the US. Audience varies, tends to be louder on cast nights, but good. There are often theme nights, last night, for example was "Fuck with your character night" The one con is that you are considered a virgin if you have never seen RHPS at Clinton Street. Overall it's lots of fun. Lehigh - Allentown, PA Fri & Sat, Midnight, $5.50 Comments: Name of the cast is "Sins of the Flesh" out of Bethlehem, PA. Excellent cast, all ages and skill levels. Has been known to perform RHPS at more than one location at the same night. (ie enuff talented cast for two complete performances.) Comments: All props are allowed except open flames and water. They have Superheroes. The Hollywood Theater - Pittsburgh, PA Sat, 10pm, $3.00 Comments: They have a performance cast. They also show TWO Tim Curry Videos before Rocky starts, Paradice Garage and I do the Rock. They are the only place in the Pittsburgh area that has the current rights. You are allowed all standard props except WATER. we also have a brand new Print of it and it looks GREAT! Comments: Not only that, but it *does* contain the entire "Super Heroes"--only time in 10+ years of viewing in both SoCal and Pittsburgh I have ever seen that scene. Roxy - Philadelphia, PA Midnight, $5.50 Comments: "The cast is compleatly crazy." They're good, but sometimes get carried away. The theater is small, but large enough to do a good show. You are not allowed to throw anything or have open flames either. Meadowbrook Cinema - Warwick, RI Fri & Sat, midnight, $5.00 Cast: Creatures of the Night Comments: The management of this theater is REALLY obnoxious...he doesn't allow any religious comments, the house lights are up during the show so the security can force people to stay in their seats (except for the Time Warp, of course), the audience has to sign a WAIVER before buying tickets, etc.). In February of 1993, the original cast had a huge fallout with said management over the increasing number of restrictions that were being imposed on us, and we left the theater. We moved to the Jane Pickens Theater (see below), and the management assembled another cast to replace us. That cast lasted 8 months. In October 1993, the management imposed another rule on them--cast members are NOT ALLOWED TO SWEAR! So, that night, the entire cast walked out on him again! So, management is left with the task of assembling yet another cast, and we at the Jane Pickens now have an incredibly large group of people to choose from. In addition, the Meadowbrook print is deteriorating rapidly. I absolutely DO NOT recommend this theater at all. Jane Pickens Theater - Newport, RI Will run Fri. & Sat. as long as attendance is good; may be just Sat. in winter Cast: Absolute Pleasure Players Comments: This is the current home of the Absolute Pleasure Players, after we fled the Meadowbrook (see above). We do lipsynch preshows before the movie, and we have special "V.I.P." virgin seating. No rice allowed (you can throw popcorn instead), but all other audience props are fine. Our cast performs shows at local clubs on occasion. It's a very good, very professional show...highly recommended. Northcross 6 - Austin, TX Fri & Sat, midnight, $4.50 Northcross Mall 2525 West Anderson Lane (512) 454-1650 Comments: It's a decent theatre in a north Austin shopping mall. My teenaged daughters go regularly and have a great time! Central Park Fox - San Antonio, TX Fri & Sat, 10pm, $1.50 Comments: Cast is on Friday only. (Cast does not get in free, tho) River Oaks Theatre - Houston, TX Price: $6.00 Tower Theatre - Salt Lake City, UT Irregular, usually at least once a month, always at a midnight show. Varsity - Seattle, WA Saturday, midnight, $6.50 ($4.50 w/Seven Gables discount pass) Address: Varsity Theater 4329 University Way NE (Right across from the University Bookstore) Seattle, Washington (206) 632-3131 Comments: Since November 26, 1993. Moved around the corner from the Neptune where it ran for over 15 years. Virgin games before the show. Live cast. Comments: There are still virgin games before the show (although they open the doors at 11:45, leaving us precious little time to get anything done before the show). The theater is open on Christmas and New Year's, so if they fall on a Saturday (as they did this year), we'll be there. Oriental - Milwaukee, WI Saturdays at Midnight, Admission $6 Comments: Located on the corner of Farwell and North on the fashionable east side of Milwaukee. A Landmark theatre which seats about 500, 1000 with balcony (only open for huge crowds, such as Halloween [775 people this year])--and and all important center isle to do the Time Warp in! Performing cast is "Sensual Daydreams", which performs every Saturday except holidays and a limited schedule in the summer. The cast is big on timing and performance. They also have some excellent large props (tank, control panel, weight set, etc). Weekly virgin contest (randomly selected on the Virgin Wheel). Props such and rice and toast are allowed. Masterbation is allowed in the back row. [ed:!!] Hoyts Centre - Sydney, Australia Fri, 11:30pm, AUS$11.50 Concession AUS$8 Comments: Cast usually hang out in the bar at Hoyts, so come by and say hello! Hoyts is a 'family' cinema, so no fucking swearing, alright? We have been running in this incarnation for four years (Anniversary show is Fri May 28, 1993). The cinema is quite good, and we have a great print, *including* the SuperHeroes ending! Props are mostly cool, just no fried rice or anything squishy :( As always, we need fresh lines, so feel free to bring your along! Comments: Good cast, some innovative callbacks, and a good quality film (with Super Heroes at the end, incidently). Movie doesn't start until around 12:00, with the cast building the atmosphere with audience participation prior to the screening by sing-a-longs and virgin introductions etc. All props are permitted and encouraged (with the exception of naked flames). Sheets of newspaper handed out at the door, to bewilder the virgins who don't know what to expect. Valhalla - Melbourne, Australia This show only plays once a month, on Saturday night Comments: (they show Blues Bros every Fri night) Very traditional cast, I think they stick to the audience participation album! Cinema Mondo - Helsinki, Finland Sat, 11:00 - Used to be every Sat at 11:00, but it has been on a break for few months now, though they promised that it'll get back to programme. Was 40 FIM, what is about $8.00 Comments: A small one, but shows used to be good. And as I said: RHPS hasn't been on the programme for some months, but it might come back next autumn or later on the summer. Studio Galande - Paris, France 42, rue Galande 75005 PARIS Metro St Michel (Near Notre-Dame) 42 Francs Thursday 22H30 Friday 22H30 & 0H30 Saturday 22H30 & 0H30 Fan-Club : The Zen Room (Newsletter, Penpal list) Comments : Cast come quite irregularly. Germany Rocky Horror Shows (Actual plays) - Dresden, Staatsschauspiel, opens Oct 10 1993, directed by Klaus Dieter Kirst - Erfurt, Schauspielhaus, opens Sep 25 1993, dir. by ??? - Gelsenkirchen, Musiktheater im Revier, opens Dec 12 1993, dir. by Dick Top - Saarbruecken, Staatstheater, opens Oct 5 1994, dir. by Matthias Davids - St. Gallen, Stadttheater, opens Sep 25 1993, dir. by Anna Vaughan - Vienna, Raimund-Theater, opens Sep 7 1993, dir. by Alexander Goebel Museums Lichtspiele - Munich, Germany Every day, early evening, on weekends late night, ca. DM 10 Location: Near the ``Deutsches Museum'' in Munich, Germany Comments: This theatre is extra-ordinary one. They play every day the RHPS (since 15 or so years) and the ``Blues Brothers'' (since 8 years). ``The Big Blue'' is shown at least weekly in the long, english version (with french subtitles). Other cult movies are shown reguarly as well. There is a special RHPS packet available at the cash bar, containing rice, a (loaded :-) water pistole and some other stuff you need for *really* enjoying the show. The Classic - Harold's Cross, Dublin, Ireland. Fri & Sat 11:00 pm Comments: As far as I know, it's the longest running RHPS in the world at over 11 years... and it's still going strong. [ed: not the longest] X-Ta - Tel-Aviv, Israel Comments: There's one theatre in the Tel-Aviv area that about once or twice a month screens RHPS, it is called X-Ta and is VERY small.. The next show there will be on the 26.2.94. From time to time there is at least a partial cast, depending on whoever arrives. Paramount Theatre - Wellington, New Zealand Either Fri or Sat at 11:15pm, $8.00 or $6.50 Comments: Either Friday or Saturday nite at 11:15pm. Generally best to watch the papers to see if it's on. Admission is $8, or $6.50 if you have a Radio Active Sub Card. The theatre is pretty small, but any props are allowed except water. There's a fairly large hardcore cast, but the average age of them is pretty low (~17- 19). We're loud, and we're rowdy, but it's good fun and we love to come up with new AP. The film is somewhat cut, missing the entire reprise of 'I can Make you a Man' to halfway through the Narrator's speech, and it jumps in a few places. We've moved from 3 other theatres; we're running out of options, but we stillknow how to party. The Westend - Christchurch, New Zealand About once every 2 months Fri 11pm, $8 or $6 for students Comments: Check out the papers to see when it's on next. This is a cool theatre, about 75 years old. Any props are allowed including water. No cast but I'm trying to do something about that currently. I believe that the film is the same as the one used in the Paramount in Wellington which is why it's not on very often. So the quality is the same, i.e. not very good. New AP is always welcome. Hollywood Theatre - Avondale, Auckland, New Zealand Sat, 10:00pm, $8NZ (~$4US) If a group of 6 or more come dressed as members of the show's cast you get in for only $6NZ. Postal_Address: Actual_Address: P.O. Box 19106 Avondale 20 St Georges Road Auckland Avondale New Zealand New Zealand Tel: ++64-9-8288393 for recorded schedule of current showings Tel: ++64-9-8289285 for manager Comments: Yes you can bring your rice (I checked) or confetti and your toast, and your water pistols, and your newspapers. Naked flames not allowed (I suggest you bring a flash light)! Currently (25Feb94) showing every Saturday at 10:00. The first Saturday of each month is regarded as particularly dangerous for virgins. Seats 320 people downstairs, and 180 upstairs. (500 total) Has run RHPS every Saturday (almost) from 1979 to 1989 and has ran RHPS intermittently ever since. Also, the Holly Wood is one of the last remaining Theatre to still have an original German "Wurlitzer" Organ from the days when Pictures were silent. They operate an active "Wurlitzer" appreciation society of sorts. However I am not sure of the exact details, ring the Manager to check this out. -- BTW: you can get a souvenir RHPS bic-ball-point-pen for only 0.50c complete with the jaws/lips printed on it!
