The Rocky Horror Show

Original New York City (Broadway) production
In March 1975, Adler closed the show at the Roxy Theatre after a ten-month run. Which allowed actors time to return to the UK for shooting of the film. Adler planned to open on Broadway just before the film’s release. It was anticipated that this production would be as successful as Jesus Christ Superstar and serve as a promotional vehicle for the film, but It was unsuccessful & closed after only 45 performances.
