The cult-classic ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year!

Jim Sharman OA is the writer, creator and director of this musical hit, which has been instrumental in placing Australian talent on the international map.

In a recent interview with the New York Post, Jim said:

“A mainstream version would have had celebrity rock stars and a big budget. We honored ‘Rocky Horror Picture Show’s B-movie premise. We confused A-and-B-movie tropes. We shot it fast and loose on low budgets, with tight schedules, in chilly studios, with iconic visuals. And we kept faith with a virtually unknown but brilliant, sexy cast that a cult audience could embrace and make their own,”

“I feel that’s at least part of the reason why ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’ is celebrating its 50th Anniversary.”

Congratulations Jim, your work is a timeless wonder!
