Reviews and Quotes:
“A most entertaining and uninhibited cast presents a production filled with phantoms as well as a Transylvanian transvestite….The movie is no comparison to this live stage show….This wickedly-wild production is a definite treat for fans of The Rocky Horror Show.”
- Joanne Rochman, The Acorn Papers

“A visit with the cast of The Rocky Horror Show may be just what the mad scientist doctor ordered….this is definitely not your every day boy meets girl and then they fall in love musical. If you’re feeling brave, venture over to Playhouse on the Green…You just might find yourself on stage doing ‘The Time Warp’ in your underwear, wearing a red boa.”
- Bonnie GoldbergMiddletown Press

  1. [...] I’m a Rocky Virgin No More!!! So I never saw The Rocky Horror Picture Show on the screen until this past year, when I was researching shows to possibly program on the season at Playhouse on the Green. And now, voila!, The Rocky Horror Show opens this Friday, just in time for Halloween! We’ve got midnight shows each weekend in addition to regular 8PM shows, and it’s already getting a lot of attention. We’ll be on the cover of the Fairfield County Weekly next week and also featured in the CT Post. Check it out! [...]

  2. Trying to locate my long time friend Cheryl Papsidera. It’s her friend Faith Mahoney. Ask her if she remembers the day that brother John opened the front door and it broke in half and my father almost killed em (not really), but he was in serious trouble.
