Los Angeles Rocky Horror

The Los Angeles area has had a strong and devoted Rocky Horror following since The Rocky Horror Show opened at the Roxy Theatre on March 24, 1974. The Rocky Horror Picture Show had a special sneak-preview at the Fox Venice Theater on September 25, 1975 and premiered at the UA Westwood the following night. It has played continuously in the Los Angeles area ever since. At its peak in the early 80s, it was screening in over 20 local area theaters on Friday and Saturday at midnight (and midnight and 2 AM at the legendary Tiffany Theater on the Sunset Strip).

Los Angeles remains an active part of ongoing Audience Participation with several long-lived casts with weekly screenings and occasional special Rocky-related events.

Partial List Of Theaters

Because Los Angeles had a general release in 1976 and very active revival house bookings between 1976-1980, and recent main-stream bookings, there have been countless theaters that had engagements of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Below is a small sampling of theaters in Los Angeles County from 1975-Present. Neighboring cities in Orange County, Riverside County, San Bernardino County, Ventura County, Santa Barbara County and San Diego County had dozens of bookings in the late '70s through mid '80s as well, bringing the number of theaters in California to over 50 simultaneously at the peak of the cult.
