A cult musical returns with glitter, goosebumps, and glam rock
When the curtain rises at the Deutsches Theater Göttingen for Richard O'Brien's Rocky Horror Show, it marks not an ordinary theater evening, but an electrifying stage experience between camp, cult, and collective exuberance. The production by Moritz Franz Beichl has already been described by the press as an energetic theater evening featuring strong live music, precise choreographic imagery, and a visually cleverly constructed stage space. The piece runs in Göttingen in the version by Frank Thannhäuser and Iris Schumacher, with a duration of around 140 minutes including an intermission.

Between B-movie fever and theater magic
Richard O'Brien created this musical as a homage to horror, science fiction, and glam rock aesthetics that has captivated generations since 1973. Brad and Janet find themselves in a night where transformation, temptation, and taboo-breaking dissolve the order of things. It is precisely this mixture of calculated exaggeration and rhythmic force that makes the Rocky Horror Show so irresistible even today. The evening thrives on its cult status, its anarchic energy, and the famous participatory feeling that turns the audience from mere observers into part of the production.
