The Rocky Horror Drag Show

The Rocky Horror Drag Show takes over Social Beer Garden HTX on Friday, October 30, the night before Halloween. It's a late-night show that turns the cult classic into a live spectacle, billed as a night of science, glamour, rock 'n' roll and drag. The whole thing is hosted by Iris Seymour.

If you're familiar with the movie, you know the vibe: it's camp, it's a bit weird, and it doesn't take itself too seriously. This version leans into that, mixing seductive performances, electrifying energy, bold looks, camp, comedy and just the right amount of chaos. It's less of a straight reenactment and more of a drag interpretation, so expect the drag elements to take center stage.

Since it's the night before Halloween, the costume thing is a big part of it. The show encourages the audience to turn up in their best costume, so if you've been sitting on a costume idea for October 31, this is a good excuse to break it out a day early. You'll be in good company—the show itself is built on the same kind of over-the-top energy.

It's a late one, running from 10 PM to 2 AM at Social Beer Garden HTX, 3101 San Jacinto St in Midtown. There's no cover, so you can just show up. Between the late start and the costume crowd, it's a solid way to kick off your Halloween weekend.
