Product Description

The Rocky Horror Show was born at the Royal Court's tiny Theatre Upstairs on June 16, 1973, and went on to become an international stage smash hit and a major motion picture. Now, Rocky Horror Company and the Royal Court Theatre present this historic program, Richard O'Brien's Rocky Horror Tribute Show. In 2006, Richard O'Brien, who wrote the book, music and lyrics, rewrote the narration for the show and a cast of performers was put together from previous stars of the show and other amazing performers, including Richard O'Brien, Patricia Quinn, Little Nell and Rayner Bourton on stage for the first time in 33 years, back where it all began. They are joined by one of the best Franks ever, Anthony Head, as well as original Transylvanians from the Rocky Horror Picture Show. This is a must-have DVD for all Rocky Horror fans!

Review

When you've got a soft spot in your heart for the twisted sci-fi, rock n roll grandiosity of Rocky Horror as I do and when you ve seen the movie too many times to count, then it's hard to resist its evolution and evocation. That includes the uneven but often worthwhile Richard O'Brien's Rocky Horror Tribute Show, new on DVD today from Kultur.

Actually, the concert-style show isn't exactly new. It was performed and recorded at an intimate but lively theater more than two years ago, to mark the 50th anniversary of the English Stage Company. O'Brien, the stage show's original writer and Riff Raff, returns to perform briefly, and other Rocky Horror veterans popping up include Patricia Quinn and Little Nell.

But mostly the music is performed by various people who have moved in and out of Rocky Horror's stage universe over the years and they're a mixed lot.

As Dr. Frank, Anthony Head is more of a singer than an actor, but Michael Ball, in the same role, is both, and he's better in my book. Jo Farrell's Janet also excels with Touch-a Touch-a Touch Me, and the Time Warp Reprise is an energized full-cast kick.

O Brien has written some shrewd new narration which advances the plot when read by various actors and sets up the next song. I love this material, and it's great to hear it in a loving atmosphere like this.

. It runs just over an hour, and for much of that time you should be richly entertained if you re a fan of the show. And if not? Well, to paraphrase Frank, they didn t make it for you. No, this is for the many of us who love Rocky Horror and luxuriate in the exquisite pleasure of its nostalgic glow. In fact, the DVD has me singing all those old songs again. --Wordpress.com

This was a treat to watch. Rocky Horror Picture fans will be very pleased with the performances on this DVD. Just as the synopsis of this DVD hails, Anthony Head (who also played Giles from the cult hit classic Buffy the Vampire Slayer), is one of the best Franks ever. When Head performed Sweet Transvestite; I literally got cold chills. Head is an excellent singer and performer. He really made an impression on this Rocky Horror fan. Other performances from the original cast of the Rocky Horror movie, Richard O'Brien, Patricia Quinn, Little Nell and Raynor Bourton were fantastic as well. I would highly recommend this DVD for any Rocky Horror fan! --Horrorclassicfilms.com

5.0 out of 5 stars A Bizarre But Fun Tribute to RHPS
Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2019

I didn't know what to expect when we picked this up but it's basically a charity concert featuring many of the stage performers that played the characters over the years. Anthony Head may well be my new favorite Frank-N-Furter after this. It's fun, it's charming and it scratches some RHPS itch but is by no means a replacement for the movie or, even better, seeing a live production.

Beautifully shot and sounds great!!!
It's not the play but rather a concert version of the play with newly written narration from the creator himself, Richard O'Brien.

This was a great tribute to a classic cult movie. The cast all sang live and performed without missing a beat. Plus Anthony Steward Head as Frank-n-furter is something I didn't know I needed to see.

I admit I first bought this for Michael Ball, but I really love Rocky Horror Picture Show so I was incredibly excited to receive this. However, upon seeing it, I have to say I'm a bit disappointed.

First off, the entire performance is done in a bit of concert style as opposed to it actually being performed, which I had no problem with. It was more the performers that were disappointing than anything. Even the ones that sang really well, seemed sloppy and all over the place (ie: not with the backup singers). The guy who played Rocky had an awesome voice, but how he sang the song was really bad with a lot of scooping up to notes as opposed to coming over them.

They also switched performers for some of the roles and the second girl to play Janet did really well, as did Anthony Michael Head and Michael Ball. All of the narrators did great, as was Riff Raff, but everyone else seemed like they just couldn't pull the role vocally.

All in all, it's worth a watch if you can rent it or borrow it. If you're a die hard Rocky fan, I would say buy it purely for some songs that weren't heard in the movie or the bits of trivia dropped in here and there or even a few things explained that were not in the movie. I regret buying it a little, but not enough to return it.

Very disappointing. Nothing like the show that was presented on TV. Completely different. Wouldn't have purchased if I had known what I was getting.

I bought this thinking it was something else I later learned was called the VH-1 Rocky Horror 25: Anniversary Special. I had seen clips of that and was interested. The tribute show isn't as theatrical was the VH- 1 clips appeared to be being a more concert setting with people singing at you. I would have loved something a little more showy that pulled you in. As is, it's a bit disappointing and I can't see myself rewatching it all that often. The completists out there will get this, the casual fan doesn't need this and the in between should see if any of the stars really peak their interest to justify this buy. Then again chances are you find that person's performance on YouTube or something.

This video shows guest artists performing songs from Rocky Horror Show. It is 'very British" and very entertaining. The costumes, dancing and songs are exciting. Richard O'Brien opens the show (great costume), Anthony Head, Adrian Edmonson, Toyah Willcox, Amy Field and Kraig Thornber do 'Sweet Transvestite', Ben Richards does Hot Patootie-Bless My Soul, Kraig Thornber, Toyah Willcocks And Amy Field do 'Time Warp' and the finale is the whole company with 'Time Warp'.
I am very pleased with this excellent and comprehensive presentation, so much in the original spirit.

Considering how much I enjoy the Rocky Horror Show, both on screen and stage. I expected this to be something spectacular, considering it was organised by the man himself.

I was disappointed though, to see such a poor show. With the exception of a few, Anthoony Head, Adrian Edmonson (Who isn't even a singer!) and Michael Ball. The others often had me cringing while listening!

I also found it sad to see what had happened to Patricia Quinn's singing voice, as it's clearly deteriorated, so she often resorts to talking or shouting.

The best thing about this, was that it was for a charitable cause. I couldn't recommend it though, as hardcore fans will feel let down, like me, and rocky virgins will be put off by it's lack of quality.

Another Brilliant Rocky Horror DVD. Only criticism is that it is only available for region 1 (USA CANADA) when it is a British Show Recorded in England with a predominantly British Cast. As a tribute concert it makes me wish that there was a stage recording on DVD of The Stage Show simular to the way several sucessful Shows have been preserved.. Until then Enjoy this -wherever you are.
