'The Rocky Horror Show' opened on Broadway 35 years ago today, March 10th 1975.
It ran for just 45 performances at the Belasco Theatre, closing on 5th April.
It wouldn't be until the early 80s when the film version suddenly became a cult screening that American audiences took Rocky and Frank to their hearts.
A new staging was presented at The Circle In The square Theatre in 2000 and ran for a more respectable 437 performances.
***The London production opened on 19th June 1973 at the Royal Court Upstairs and closed at the Comedy Theatre on 13th September 1980 after 2960 performances.
This production is still high on the long running shows list for West End shows.
