The Rocky Horror Show began in 1973 at the Royal Court’s Theatre Upstairs and quickly moved to the Chelsea Classic Cinema, then to the Kings Road Theatre (1973 to 1979) and the Comedy Theatre in the West End (1979 to 80).

The 1975 film adaptation, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, remains a significant success, grossing over $135 million at the box office and maintaining the longest-running theatrical release in cinema history.
