Hello dear people, my name is Richard O'Brien, the author of that very odd musical, The Rocky Horror Show
0:06
I'd just like to say a very big thank you to the many of you that have interacted with it on one or two occasions over the past five decades
0:14
especially the lovely shadow cast performers from all around the world. And now, I would like, if I may, to introduce you to a trailer of Strange Journey
0:24
It's the story of the creation of Rocky and the 50 years that have followed
0:30
Because in very many ways it's as much your story as it is mine
0:34
So, let's keep the rainbow banner flying high It used to stand where I used to cut hair
0:46
Can you imagine when I was cutting people's hair and if I said to them One day, all this will be torn down
0:54
And there'll be a statue of me wearing fishnets. I was contemplating whether I should get a proper job or stay as an actor
1:05
I said to Jim Sharman, I'm writing a little musical which might amuse you
1:10
Called They Came From Denton High. I basically suggested to Richard on the simple principle that it's a rock and roll horror show, why don't we just call it what it is
1:20
We opened and it was a phenomenal success. Everyone just went nuts
1:26
From the beginning I just envisioned it as a film Not having money added to the edginess It was very hard work We completed the film and it flopped it was like somebody had let all the air out of a balloon
1:40
they suggested why don't we run the film at midnight everybody was amazed at that kind of success it's this snowball effect which goes from
2:00
shout outs to costumes to props toilet paper rice it was like a rock concert
2:09
I mean, you would hope at this point in world history that something like Rocky would be a relic
2:26
You have to turn to your child and explain. People used to be really afraid of someone professing that they are somewhere between two genders
2:33
at that point when you're trying to figure things out you can go to some place where there are a lot
2:40
of people that are trying to figure that out you can be there and you can be accepted for who you
2:45
are the truth of the matter is of course we all are freaks aren't we god made us in different ways thankfully
