The Word on

The call-outs are a product of audience reactions to the film, which was released two years after the stage show. We are returning to the roots of the stage show while embracing the culture of Rocky Horror. The call-outs that many people know are part of the culture, but we also want to balance the experience for the audience members who want to hear the musical and give respect to the live human actors who are onstage performing.

We embrace the many different Rocky Horror Show experiences that people come into Studio 54 with, as well as those who have never experienced it and don’t know the history. The spirit of Rocky Horror is communal joy. Choose your call-outs carefully—as this is a Broadway musical, not a midnight showing of the film.
