The Rocky Horror Show started in 1973 as a stage production in London's West End, and then on Broadway in 1975, the same year as the film. Both play and film were written, produced, and starred Richard O'Brien as Riff Raff The Rocky Horror Picture Show was an instant cult classic. My older sister and brother took me to see it at a midnight showing in 1976, I was 13yo and had absolutely no idea wtf it was about. But audience members dressed as characters, and performers acted out the entire show in front of the screen. We made it a regular weekend tradition of our own. So it was immediately well-received and instant cult classic.
