Who said England was puritanical? Certainly not Richard O'Brien, the man behind the story of the legendary Rocky Horror Show. Forget your good manners, your morals or any rules of decorum, and let yourself be carried away by the contagious madness of the most glam-rock of musicals. An irreverent celebration of queer culture, located somewhere between B-movie pastiche, science fiction and horror film parody, the Rocky Horror Show is finally arriving in Paris and in its original version please ! Fifty years after its creation, the Lido invites us to follow with undisguised pleasure the adventures of Brad and Janet, a young, somewhat uptight couple, much less innocent than they seem, who discover a frightening rainy evening mansion of the charismatic and libidinous Dr. Frank'n'Furter...

No need to act shy. Here, no one is fooled. This breathtaking show of two frantic hours, punctuated by the wild songs of the cult film by Richard O'Brien and by the spectacular performances of the artists on stage (special mention to the lecherous vampire in a suspender belt) is above all a pretext for a musical delirium completely crazy, sexually unbridled and full of (schoolboy) humor that will make you feel like you've come straight from another planet. The troupe of high-energy actors take us with them into this whirlwind of madness, extravagance and pure fantasy with their sequined costumes, their lace negligees and their leather basques. The scenes follow one another, the temperature rises. Very quickly, the heady euphoria of the room wins us over, while the piece reaches, as expected, the heights of kitsch, trash and unapologetic bad taste. One thing is certain, we are certainly not going to shy away from our pleasure here. So stop resisting and succumb without further delay to the charm of the Rocky Horror Show!
