Michigan Rocky Horror Picture Show

New show found. Not of interest to most people as it’s Northern Michigan University, but technically counts as a Michigan showing…

Feburary is shaping up to be quite a month for Rocky in Michigan. What a great start to the year. So far I’ve found out about 6 showings….

• Feb 11: Toledo, Oh – Collingwood Art Center
• Feb 11: Taylor, MI – Spotlight Taylor 10
• Feb 17: Flint, MI – McKinnon Theatre
• Feb 18: Flint, MI – McKinnon Theatre

I know of 2 more shows that will most likely happen in the spring and I will let you know about those once I have confirmation. Saddly I have heard from Howell and Ann Arbor State say they will not be doing Rocky. As always, let me know if you hear of more!

Got an email this morning telling me of a Bay City showing. Only info I have is it is on the 29th, they are doing a 7pm and a 10pm showing, and tickets are $5. Here is the link…

Theaters that are NOT doing shows this year…

Royal Oak Music theater
City Opera House – Traverse City

I have finally gotten around to updating the site to WordPress. I hated having the horrible looking slit screen of the old site. It looked stupid, but I also wanted an easy want to keep it updated. I have now updated all my web site but 2 to wordpress and have found them SO much easier to keep things updated. The theme isn’t the best, but it will do for now. So I only know about 3 showing coming up this October.

State Theater -Ann Arbor – Oct 22-23rd with the Tickle me Fancy burlesque troupe(not a true Rocky cast)

Michigan Theater – Jackson – Oct 30th with Painted Perversion

I now have a nifty plugging on the side announcing upcoming shows. Click the link for more info on these shows. Royal Oak Music Theater says they are working on getting Rocky, but so far have nothing to announce.

I have not heard from Obivions Wife and Kids, Fuzzy Memories, nor the Tender Subjects.

Cast director for Painted Perversion Jon is direct a showing of  “The Rocky Horror Show”(which means the stage play). He is also still looking for cast members. For full details, check his post…
