Rocky Horror:

From Concept to Cult
Front Cover
8 Reviews
Sanctuary Pub Limited, Jun 1, 2002 - Performing Arts - 389 pages
When a small company of jobbing actors set out on the very first production of The Rocky Horror Show at the Royal Court Theatre on the Kings Road, London, in 1973, no one could have realised what a world-wide phenomenon it would become. Initially receiving mixed reviews, the stage show would enjoy a short life, but the subsequent film would steadily build a cult student following, filling hundreds of cinemas on a weekly basis, and gaining huge video sales.
Now, in the 25th anniversary of the making of the infamous movie starring Tim Curry, Richard O'Brien, Susan Sarandon, Meat Loaf and Barry Bostwick, we find out what went on behind the scenes from those who were there. This celebration of Transylvanian proportions brings the true fan completely up to date, interviewing the main stars of stage and screen productions, describing how each evolved, the good times, the squabbles, the tantrums, the jealously and the greed as Rocky Horror made a special piece of history.

Review: Rocky Horror: From Concept to Cult

User Review  - Angela - Goodreads

For a book about the "Rocky Horror Picture Show", this was amazingly dry. It's basically a collection of interviews with the cast and creators, about how the phenomenon came to be. Any hardcore fans would be interested in this book, but I don't think anyone else would. Read full review
