Event Description
The Rocky Horror Show returns to Westerly for a special Halloween encore on Friday, October 30, bringing the Granite Theatre’s original 2025 cast back to the stage for an evening of outrageous characters, unforgettable music, and fundraising festivities.
The 11:30 p.m. performance gives fans another opportunity to experience Richard O’Brien’s cult-classic musical, complete with the eccentric world of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, the infectious energy of the Time Warp, and the gloriously unconventional spirit that has made Rocky Horror a Halloween favorite for generations.
This isn’t simply another performance. The evening is a special encore fundraiser, with an $80 ticket package that includes appetizers, a themed goodie bag, a costume contest, and entry into a prize raffle.
The Original Cast Returns for One More Night
The Granite Theatre is bringing back its original 2025 cast for the Halloween presentation, giving returning audiences a chance to revisit the production and newcomers an opportunity to discover the show’s famously unpredictable world.
The story begins when newly engaged sweethearts Brad and Janet find themselves stranded during a storm. Seeking shelter, they arrive at a mysterious mansion inhabited by a collection of extraordinary characters.
There they encounter Dr. Frank-N-Furter, a flamboyant scientist with a remarkable creation named Rocky, and quickly find themselves swept into a bizarre adventure filled with music, mischief, and unexpected discoveries.
With its blend of science-fiction parody, gothic horror, rock music, and irreverent humor, The Rocky Horror Show has become a theatrical phenomenon.
Costumes, Goodies, and a Halloween Fundraiser
The Halloween encore adds a festive twist to the theatrical experience.
Each $80 ticket includes bites and appetizers, a Rocky Horror-themed goodie bag, admission to a costume contest, and entry into a special prize raffle.
The costume competition offers fans an opportunity to embrace the show’s flamboyant spirit, whether dressing as a favorite character or arriving in their own Halloween creation.
The combination of performance and special activities makes this a more elaborate evening than a traditional theater outing.
And, of course, there’s the opportunity to do the Time Warp again.
A Cult Classic Built for Halloween
Few stage musicals have developed the devoted following enjoyed by The Rocky Horror Show.
Its memorable songs, eccentric characters, and playful disregard for convention have helped make it a perennial favorite for Halloween celebrations and midnight performances.
The show’s theatrical style invites audiences into a world where ordinary rules no longer apply and where extravagance, humor, and audience enthusiasm are part of the experience.
For longtime fans, the Granite Theatre’s encore offers another chance to revisit a familiar favorite. For first-time visitors, it’s an introduction to one of musical theater’s most distinctive cult classics.
The production carries an R rating and is recommended for audiences 17 and older. Anyone under 17 must be accompanied by an adult.
