Dear Everyone,

Look what I just found! I'm sooooo excited! At laaaaaast! 29th May is a Thursday, though, so I'll be nose to grindstone...however, that's the premiere. Hopefully there'll be weekend shows, too. Oh...wow! But how to sing The Time Warp in Roumanian (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdu7xoHU9DA)? If you don't know this show, my dear Roumanian friends, see http://archive.filmdeculte.com/culte/culte.php?id=33 in French, and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rocky_Horror_Picture_Show in English for plot and utter silliness.

PS. Where and what is the Kristal Glam Club?!!!! Just googled it and guess what?! It's only on str. J.S.Bach!!!!! Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Apparently, it resembles the Crystal Ballroom, Dagenham in 1977...Morte de rire! Bring it oooooooooooon! Pix at the bottom of this post from Nine O'Clock.

“The Rocky Horror Picture Show” premieres in Bucharest

  published in issue 4175 page 12 at 2008-05-07

The musical “The Rocky Horror Picture Show”, directed by Alexander Hausvater, will have its Eastern-European premiere on May 29, in a Bucharest club. The show, created by Richard O’ Brian, was performed for the first time in 1975, in London and then conquered some of the most prestigious stages of Broadway, Western Europe, Australia, Africa or Asia.

“The Rocky Horror Picture Show” is considered the most successful musical of all times all over the world, and it represents a parody of horror and SF films, combined with irony and sensuality, outlined by music, dance and theatre. The British musical also inspired the 1975 music comedy “The Rocky Horror Picture Show”, starring Susan Sarandon, Tim Curry, Barry Bostwick and Meat Loaf.

The performance tells the story of Janet Weiss and Brad Majors, a newly engaged young couple on atrip. Unfortunately, their car breaks down and they must seek accommodation at the castle of the transsexual doctor Frank’N’ Furter, an eccentric scientist leading terrifying and unpredictable experiments.

In Romania, the show will be performed weekly at Kristal Glam Club in Bucharest. The cast includes eleven Romanian actors, including Victor Bucur, Sanziana Tarta, Filip Ristovski, Dana Rotaru, Silvia Launeanu, Matei Chioariu, Tica Alexe, Mirela Boureanu, and Marius Stanescu.

According to the organisers, the creator of the musical Richard O’ Brian himself is expected to attend the premiere in Bucharest.
