Continuing a Halloween-season tradition at the historic New Hope venue, Bucks County Playhouse (BCP) presents its popular production of Richard O’Brien’s “The Rocky Horror Show” for an extended run through Sunday, October 29, 2017. Randy Harrison, best known for the iconic role of Justin on Showtime’s Queer as Folk, joins the cast and makes his Playhouse debut in the role of as Dr. Frank-n-Furter. Bucks County Playhouse’s Executive Producer Robyn Goodman, Producing Director Alexander Fraser and Producers Stephen Kocis and Joshua Fiedler are pleased that the production is directed by Hunter Foster (BCP’s “Clue: On Stage” and “Guys and Dolls”) with choreography by Lorin Latarro (BCP’s “Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story” and Broadway’s “Waitress”).

With such a strong reception in 2016, the Playhouse is offering more “Rocky” — adding an extra week of performances, increasing the number of shows, and adjusting the curtain times to make the late-night performances more convenient for patrons.

“We are excited with the response ‘The Rocky Horror Show’ received in its return last year and thrilled to be able to expand the performance schedule for 2017,” says producer Stephen Kocis. “The Rocky Horror Show’ has always been a great party show and has tremendous appeal to the Boomer Generation. The revised late-night schedule on weekends provides diehard ‘Rocky Horror’ fans a more convenient time to enjoy this wickedly fun musical at the Playhouse.”

“The Rocky Horror Show,” with book, music, and lyrics by Richard O'Brien, is a musical that inspired the 1975 classic cult film, “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.” It follows innocent couple Brad and Janet as they seek shelter at a mysterious old castle on a dark and stormy night, where they encounter transvestite Dr. Frank-n-Furter, his “perfect” creation Rocky, and an assortment of other crazy creatures.
