Production Notes -Information provided by 20th Century Fox- "THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW" Original Production Information From an experimental production in a small London theater to a smash international stage hit to a major motion picture, all in the space of 18 months! That's the exciting history of THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW,' a Lou Adler/Michael White musical production for 20th Century-Fox. THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW is an outrageous assemblage of the most stereo-typed science fiction movies, Marvel comics, Frankie Avalon/Anette Funicello outings and rock n' roll of every vintage. Running through the story is the sexual confusion of two middle American 'Ike Age' kids confronted by the complications of the decadent morality of the 70's, represented in the person of the mad 'doctor' Frank N Furter, a transvestite from the planet Transexual in the galaxy of Transylvania. On the way to visit an old college professor, the two clean cut kids, Brad Majors (Barry Bostwick) and his fiancee Janet Weiss (Susan Sarandon), run into tire trouble and seek help at the site of a light down the road. It's coming from the Frankenstein place,' where Dr. Frank N Furter (Tim Curry), a transvestite from the planet Transexual in the galaxy of Transylvania, is in the midst of one of his maniacal experiments - he's created the perfect man a rippling piece of beefcake christened Rocky Horror (Peter Hinwood), and intends to put him to good use (his Own) in his kinky household retinue, presided over by a hunchback henchman named Riff Raff (Richard O'Brien) and his incestuous sister Magenta (Patricia Quinn), and assisted by a tap dancing groupie-in-residence, Columbia (Little Nell). Agape ill this world of science fiction and fantasy, Brad and Janet don't know what next to Cued, Yell the disastrous result of H previous experiment, an oafish biker unwed Eddie (Meatloaf), plows through the laboratory wall, wailing on a saxophone. Frank puts a permanent end to this musical interruption without thinking twice until the old professor Brad and Janet had set out to visit, Dr. Scott (Jonathan Adams), turns up at the castle in search of his missing nephew, the juvenile delinquent Eddie. He knows that Frank N Furter is an alien spy form another galaxy, and sets out to turn him in, but Frank moves too fast, seducing first Janet, then Brad into his lascivious clutches. Overwhelmed by a newfound libido, Janet hotly attacks the stud Rocky Horror while Brad is under the covers with Frank. Before Dr. Scott can bring justice and morality into this topsy-turvy Transylvanian orgy, Frank N Furter has turned his captives to stone, in preparation for a new 'experiment' - art all drag revue - when Riff Raff and Magenta reappear in Transylvanian space togs to wrest control of the mission from Frank N Furter, whose lifestyle is too extreme even for his fellow space travelers. When his lavish histrionic claims of chauvanisrn fail to soften up Riff Raff and Magenta, Frank N Furter tries to escape, only to be gunned down by their power rayguns. Rock rushes to save his creator, but he, too, is blasted to outer Space by the militants. Brad, Janet and Dr. Scott are left in a fog, incapable of readjusting to the normalcy of the life they've left behind in Denton, now that they've tasted the forbidden fruits of the Tirne Warp. Created by Richard O'Brien, who wrote the book, music and lyrics and calls it 'something any ten-year old could enjoy,' this homage to the horror film opened in London at the Royal Court's experimental Theatre Upstairs as a six-week workshop project in June, 1973. The show received such acclaim at this 60-seat theatre that it was quickly moved to larger quarters in a converted cinema in Chelsea. Following the movie theatre's demolition, the show found a permanent home at the 500-seat King's Road Theatre, where it is still playing to packed houses nightly. The play was named Best Musical of 1973 in the London Evening Standard's annual poll of drama critics. One of the most dynamic and creative forces of the American music industry, Lou Adler, who was in London, saw The Rocky Horror Show' and promptly sewed up the American theatrical rights to the play within 36 hours. Adler has long; been recognized as being involved in the success of some of the great milestone recording artists of the 60's and 70's, and it is a tribute to his persuasiveness and stature in music circles that he won out over many established New York 'name' producers. Adler has initiated many 'firsts' in his career. In 1967 he produced tile first contemporary music industry film, 'Monterey Pop,' filmed at the historic Monterey Pop Festival, which he produced with John Phillips of the Mamas and Papas.' Considered by music historians as possibly the most significant event in pop music history, the first manifestation of the importance and influence of music to the present generations Monterey also introduced such talents as Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix. As sole owner and chief executive officer of Ode Records, Adler personally produces every artist on the label and oversees every aspect of the musical careers of such artists as Carole King and Cheech and Chong. As executive producer of THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW,' Lou Adler presents his first feature film offering since his Production of Robert Altman's 'Brewster McCloud' for MGM. His only prior association with theatre was as one of six backers for Hillard Elkin's short-lived Production of Gore Vidal's 'An Evening with Richard Nixon.' The original stage version of The Rocky Horror Show' was produced by Michael White, one of London's most successful and experienced theatrical producers with over ninety shows to his credit in twelve years, including the London production of 'Sleuth, 'The Doll's House,' 'Oh! Calcutta' and Two Gentlemen of Verona.' On the opening night of The Rocky Horror Show,' Michael White already had six other major productions running in the West End. THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW marks White's first screen credit as producer, but together with the film's Associate Producer John Goldstone his motion picture interests have included The Final programme' and 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail.' Filming of THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW began in October, 1974, at Bray Studios, England's famous House of Horror,' and at a 19th century chateau which served once as the wartime refuge of General Charles DeGaulle. Both the London and American productions of The Rocky Horror Show' were directed by Jirn Sharman, who makes his motion picture directorial debut with THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW.' 'All during the theatre version there was a movie it the back of my or mind' he says. Being surrounded by film mythology, the theatre version was very filmatic - as the film is very theatrical, although I've tried to avoid making a sort of filmed stage play. The show treads a thin line between homage and parody. I love the old horror films quite passionately, but THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW has its own story and can hold its own whether you are a horror fan or not.' Born and raised in Australia, Sharman trained there with the State Drama Theatre and first made his name with a variety of experimental productions before being recruited as director of 'Hair' in Sydney and Tokyo, until 'Jesus Christ Superstar' brought him to London and 'Rocky.' The film version of The Rocky Horror Picture Show' retains many Members of the original Theatre Upstairs company. Repeating the roles they originally created in the theatre are Richard O'Brien (Riff Raff), Patricia Quinn (Magenta), Little Nell (Columbia) and Jonathan Adams (who played the Narrator on stage and now appears as Dr. Scott). Making his screen debut in THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW' is the sensational star of the London, Los Angeles and Broadway versions of the play, Tim Curry, in the controversial role of the transvestite scientist from outer space, Dr. Frank N Furter. A serious student of drama who has played in Shakespearean Productions, the twenty-eight-year-old Curry does not in the least mind being associated with such a sexually bizarre character. 'He has a very odd kind of appeal, particularly to women,' says Curry. 'He is certainly not corrupting, even to people outside the big cities. He can go from doing something really outrageous and horrific to being deeply moving.' The Character of Frank N Furter remains essentially intact in its transition from stage to screen. 'A lot has happened to me and the character in a very short period of time,' says Curry, 'but basically Frank N Furter is the same character that first set sequined high heels on stage just eighteen months ago.' In THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW' Transylvania is the name of a galaxy whose space agents assigned to planet Earth have gathered together for their annual Transylvanian Convention. Sets reminiscent of the traditional foreboding Gothic castle yet combining a touch of Modern Bizarre' were designed by Brian Thomson. An ex-architect who has what he describes as a 'healthy contempt' for the idea that scenery is just something in front of which actors act, Thomson has teamed with director Jim Sharman on nine productions including the original stage Presentation of ' The Rocky Horror Show.' The film also retains its original costume designer, Sue Blane, whose Merry Widow corsets, garter belts and half tuxedos adorn the ghoulish group. The outlandish makeup for Tim Curry and the Transylvanians was designed by Pierre Laroche famed makeup artist of stars and celebrities like both Mick and Bianca Jagger. Lou Adler attributes the shows quick Production as a film (usually a play must run at least year on Broadway before a film production is begun) to the fact that it opened in Los Angeles, where studio executives could witness the success of the show and easily see its potential. A Lou Adler/Michael White musical Production for 20th Century Fox, THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW' was produced by Michael White and directed by Jim Sharman and Richard O'Brien. Lou Adler is the executive producer. Starring Tirn Curry, the film is a screen version of the award-winning hit stage musical with book, music and lyrics by Richard O'Brien.,Production Notes --=={{****************************************************************}}==-- THE RHPS FAQ - version 3.9z last update October 31 - November 4, 1997 conceived, compiled, written, and edited by Jason Alan "P7A77" Pfaff Founder and version 3.9z Editor: p7a77@concentric.net version 4.0 Editor: larryv@rockyhorror.org http://www.faq.rhps.org http://rockyhorror.org/faq/ Copyright 1993-7 P7A77, Inc. --=={{****************************************************************}}==-- *** SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT - PLEASE READ *** This is the final version of the RHPS FAQ that will come out of P7A77, Inc. I created this FAQ in the summer of 1993 and have been maintaining it ever since. However, in recent years, the focus of my life has shifted, and I find I have less and less time to spend on it. And so, with the posting of this version, the FAQ is no longer under my control. It was a difficult decision to make, but I would rather see it continue to grow and change under the proper supervision of someone else than just get stale and moldy in my never- ending to do list. But, I hear you asking yourselves, to whom are you transferring control? That person is none other than a.c-m.r-hs own Larry Vamp Viezel. Larry has been on the newsgroup as long as I have (maybe longer). Hes had experience organizing several mini-conventions and is partially responsible for the recent surge in popularity that Shock Treatment has received. Ive observed his net personality and attitude for years, and I feel that hes the best choice as the FAQs new owner, both in organizational ability and sense of humor. I will be giving him all my notes on possible changes that I never got around to doing (including my outline for three separate FAQs - RHPS, ST, and The Fans), and letting all the regular contributors know his email address (finally - no more daily harassment from Joe and Ruth ;). I also look forward to seeing any new ideas he has and am curious to see in what direction he will take it. The URL was intended to remain the same. One of the reasons I made the move to rhps.org is the first place was to make any future transitions easier (plus, I liked the domain name). However, rhps.org seems to be down at the moment, so the FAQ will currently be located at www.rockyhorror.org/faq/. If rhps.org ever gets back online, it will again be located at www.faq.rhps.org, with a mirror at rockyhorror.org. I apologize for this inconvenience. Id like to thank specific people who have helped me and stuck with me through the years. Thanks are due to: Kevin Bourrillion, for emailing me every message posted to the newsgroup before I had access to it; George Burgyan, for helping me take those first few steps and putting up with my net- ignorance; Dan S. Dye, for reasons only he need know about; Adam Moss, for the now defunct RHPS email fanzine; James Norman, for encouraging me with the original text to web transfer; Betty Thomas, for making sure my Tim info was always full and accurate; and Zenin, for having one hell of a newsgroup archive, which has come in handy from time to time. An extra special thank-you to Joe Blevins, for constantly bombarding me with information, actor credits, and top-notch parodies and quizzes; Ruth J. Fink- Winter, for just a whole bunch of stuff, including international RHPS information, and for continuously kicking me in the ass to get me working on this thing; to Christopher Ambler, for providing the space at rhps.org, and for putting up with my numerous memory blocks involving account passwords; and especially to Larry Viezel, for being someone whom I trust to take over the FAQ, and being willing to do it. And, of course, to the scores upon scores of people who kept providing new information and encouraging my work on the FAQ. You know who you are. Now, for a more personal note. RHPS has had a big impact on my life. I first discovered it in high school, and it was responsible for my coming out of several shells. Ive met many great people through the show, and I feel comfortable knowing that no matter where I go, therell likely be a show for me to attend. Earlier this year, the time was right for me to stop performing. I now attend only occasionally. With this, my passing on of the FAQ, it seems that I am now retired from the RHPS life. The scene is different now. Im different now. Its simply time for me to move on. I hold no resentment or regrets; RHPS was, is, and always shall be one of my favorite movies, and I will always remember this time in my life. So, with this, I say - goodbye. Good luck, Larry. Youre going to need it. :) - Jason Alan P7A77 Pfaff / p7a77@concentric.net --=={{****************************************************************}}==-- Table O' Contents ----------------- [Sections with significantly new information from the last version are marked with an asterisk (*).

More specifically and accurately, a FAQ contains *answers* to Frequently Asked Questions. ____________________________________________________________________________ 0b - Why is a FAQ necessary? ____________________________________________________________________________ On Usenet (the newsgroups of the Internet), various newsgroups tend to get "spammed" (i.e., cluttered) with messages from new people asking questions that have already been answered several times previous. Because of this, conversations can become rather cyclical. The FAQ is a document, specific to a certain newsgroup (or cluster of newsgroups), that is posted regularly, so that new users can get their questions answered easily and more efficiently, and thus save everyone unnecessary hassle. ____________________________________________________________________________ 0c - If that's what a FAQ is, why is *THIS* necessary? ____________________________________________________________________________ Why not? FAQs have evolved to contain more than just answers to basic questions; they are often tomes of information and trivia that even the most informed people might not know all of. The writer of a FAQ is usually a much- respected member of his/her community, and receives praise and affection wherever s/he may go. At least, that's the way it should be. ____________________________________________________________________________ 0d - How can I quickly find what I want? ____________________________________________________________________________ Sections are divided by lines of '===' and subsections by lines of '___'. To quickly jump to the next section or subsection, simply do a search for those lines. To find a specific subsection from the Table O' Contents, do a search for the letter-number header of the subsection. It's really not terribly difficult to figure out. ____________________________________________________________________________ 0e - How are the version numbers determined? ____________________________________________________________________________ Slight changes, rewordings, and corrections increase the letter value (i.e., v1.0a to v1.0b). Major reworkings of a subsection or slight changings of layout increase the decimal value (i.e., v2.0 to v2.1). Major rerworkings of a section or major changes in layout increase the number value (i.e., v2.0 to v3.0). Any changes made to the decimal will reset the letter value, and any changes to the number will reset both the decimal and the letter. For example, a reworking of a subsection in version 1.0b would create version 1.1 (not 1.1b). A reworking of a section in version 1.3f would create version 2.0 (not 2.3f, 2.3, or 2.0f). Please note, however, that periodically I may just increase the version number for the hell of it. It's my FAQ, dammit - I'll do what I want with it. ____________________________________________________________________________ 0f - What changes were made from the last version? ____________________________________________________________________________ Sections with significantly new information from the last version are marked with an asterisk (*) in the Table O' Contents.

Most college campuses will have special showings throughout the year as well (usually during Halloween and at the end of a term).

Pay attention. ____________________________________________________________________________ 1h - What theatre has been showing RHPS for the longest time? ____________________________________________________________________________ Many people claim that it is the Graceland Theatre in Columbus, Ohio, which has been showing RHPS regularly since 1976. Even though the Graceland ha
