A live stage adaptation of the cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show, featuring original cast members and a shadow cast.
The Rocky Horror Picture Spooktacular Tour stops at The 5th Avenue Theatre on Thursday, October 15, 2026, at 7:30 PM. It's a live stage adaptation of Richard O'Brien's cult classic, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, which has grown into a long-running theatrical tradition. The show follows the original's live format: original cast members like Patricia Quinn return to the stage, performing alongside a shadow cast of actors who interact with both the audience and the action on screen.
Patricia Quinn is on the bill for this stop, bringing back one of the original faces from the film. The shadow cast is a key part of the experience, as they act out the scenes in front of the screen while the movie plays behind them, often breaking the fourth wall to pull the crowd into the performance. It's a format that's become as much a part of the Rocky Horror legacy as the story itself.
If you're planning to go, there are a few logistical things to keep in mind. Tickets are limited to eight per person and per credit card, and all sales are final—no refunds or exchanges. Your mobile barcodes are released four days before the show, so you'll have them on your phone well before you head downtown. One more detail: The 5th Avenue Theatre has no elevator, with only stairs and ramps to the balcony level, so keep that in mind if you're choosing your seats.
