Rocky Horror
While helping with musical auditions for Jesus Christ Superstar in 1972, he met Jim Sharman and Richard O'Brien. He then scored Sharman's production of The Unseen Hand in 1973, which led to his work with O'Brien on The Rocky Horror Show. He played keyboards in the original 4-piece band that played nightly in the The Rocky Horror Show.
A long professional relationship developed between Hartley and O'Brien, that included not only The Rocky Horror Picture Show and its follow-up film, Shock Treatment, but also O'Brien's other stage creations Tee Zee and Disaster. Together they also worked on the yet-to-be produced Revenge Of The Old Queen.
