The Rocky Horror Picture Show with the NYC Shadowcast
About This Event
At City Winery NYC, the NYC Shadowcast presents The Rocky Horror Picture Show Pride Edition, a live shadowcast that pairs the cult film with live vocals, choreography, and audience-facing rituals. The group treats the film as a score to be performed in real time, with roles distributed across a rotating cast and an emphasis on ensemble timing rather than spectacle.
