Adventurous Kona theater-goers will be seeing a lot of familiar faces in this year’s limited engagement of Aloha Performing Arts Center’s “The Rocky Horror Show”… though not necessarily in the roles they may be accustomed to.
Relative newcomer Johnny Gomez is taking the lead as Frankenfurter. David Parsons, who played Curly in last years’ wholesome family musical, “Oklahoma,” is letting out his inner freak as the Narrator.
Delightfully disturbing, “The Rocky Horror Show” is a live action musical stage play, not to be confused with “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” where performers act out key moments of the 1975 film adaptation in front of a movie screen.
This year there will be five performances at the Aloha Theatre in Kainaliu, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 25-28, and Halloween night, Wednesday, Oct. 31.
Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door. For more information or to purchase tickets, go to APAC’s website at AlohaTheatre.com or call 322-9924.
Sharon Cannon leads the live rock band assembled for the show, with Roxanne Fox as director and Sue Boyum as vocal director. This high-paced musical contains choreography by Lee Vinson, Joanie Collins, Justine Smith, Sandra Huitt and Robin O’Hara. Designers include Ariana Bassett, technical and sound; boB Gage, lighting, and Gerald Lucena, costumes and set. Yvonne Buscher will create the show’s makeup, and Toni Reynolds is supplying the props.
