STRANGE JOURNEY: THE STORY OF ROCKY HORROR
by Linus O'Brien
The show that revolutionised musicals. An unprecedented phenomenon in the history of entertainment. The Rocky Horror Show was all this and much more: the symbol of a generation, thanks to the themes it explored, its iconic performances, and its musical numbers that have achieved cult status. From its London debut in 1973 to the worldwide success of Jim Sharman’s film version in 1975, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, this is the behind-the-scenes story that cemented its place in the collective imagination, featuring exclusive interviews with members of the original cast (notably Tim Curry and Susan Sarandon) as well as famous long-standing fans (including Jack Black and Trixie Mattel).
