‘Rocky Horror Picture Show’ Stars Reunite For Live 50th Anniversary Tour: Will Your Favorite Be There?
The Rocky Horror Picture Show is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year with a time warp-tastic tour featuring three of the film’s original stars: Barry Bostwick (Brad Majors), Nell Campbell (Columbia) and Patricia Quinn (Magenta) will reunite for a 40-stop tour beginning September 2025. The actors will appear alongside a screening of the film with live shadow cast and memorabilia display, plus V.I.P. meet-and-greets. Some tour stops will feature only one or two of the actors, but seven events will include all three of the stars hosting the event — the first time all three have reunited and performed together in 50 years.
Bostwick shared about the tour in the press release, “Rocky has changed lives, not just ours, and had a profound effect on how we accept our differences in this world. We were fitted for our corsets and high heels and enthusiastically started singing songs that have endured for all these years. And ‘dammit Janet’! I have made nerds cool.”

The Rocky Horror Picture Show first hit theaters in 1975. Adapted from the 1973 stage musical The Rocky Horror Show, it was written by Jim Sharman and Richard O’Brien, who also appears in the film as Riff Raff. With a cast featuring Tim Curry in his breakout role, alongside Susan Sarandon and Bostwick, the film offered a loving tribute to the campy science fiction and horror B-movies of the ’30s through the early ’60s.

Narrated by Charles Gray, the movie introduced audiences to a strange and unforgettable story: an engaged couple whose car breaks down in the rain, leading them to a mysterious castle full of bizarre partygoers and their eccentric host, Dr. Frank-N-Furter. Though initially met with poor reviews, The Rocky Horror Picture Show found new life as a midnight movie in 1976, where audience participation turned it into a phenomenon. Today, nearly 50 years later, it holds the record as the longest-running theatrical release and continues to draw a passionate international cult following.
Fans attending each show will have an opportunity to meet the stars, participate in a costume contest and of course, have the interactive experience the show is known for. Viewers in select cities will also be able to view artifacts and costumes from the original film. For more information and to get tickets, visit the tour website.
