Do you think that with the people you suggest you could do better than this performance?: This performance was in the Playhouse Theater in London on September 17, 2015. It was simultaneously broadcast to movie theaters all over Europe. (I saw it in a movie theater in Oxford.) It done for the fortieth anniversary of the movie. It was also a charitable performance for the benefit of Amnesty International: > **[Rocky Horror Show Live](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocky_Horror_Show_Live)** > > Rocky Horror Show Live is a 2015 musical performance event simulcast live to cinemas across the United Kingdom and Europe from London's Playhouse Theatre on 17 September 2015.

> [@Inigo\_Montoya](#): > > . . . > Marilyn Manson :: Dr. Frankenfurter > . . . I disagree. It’s either Eddie Izzard or RuPaul. Each choice will drive a different flavor and cast. Marilyn hasn’t got the spark to pull it off. He’d make a great RiffRaff opposite RuPaul though. ---
