The Rocky Horror Show transports the audience back in time to the pre-pill 1960s, where virginal heroes, Brad and Janet, encounter the dog days of sexual hedonism in the form of a transvestite mad scientist and his collection of alien servants. Best described as the back alley where “glam met rock, cross-dressed it, slept with it, and taught the audience all the tunes,” TRHS goes where other late-night lingerie shows don’t dream of going. It begs its audience – don’t dream it, be it.
In October 2012, Chandelier Productions raised $8,000 for Gay City Health Project with a sell-out run of The Rocky Horror Show and John Cameron Mitchell and Steven Trask’s Hedwig & the Angry Inch presented as a live double feature. This year’s one-night-only revival hopes to earn an additional $5,000.

producers focused on raising money and awareness for local and national LGBT organizations including Freedom to Marry, the Human Rights Campaign, the It Gets Better Project, the Trevor Project and GLSEN. Other achievements include: a sell-out Mother’s Day Roy Orbison tribute concert at the Triple Door (2013) and Hedwig and the Angry Inch at The Crocodile (2011). In partnership with Rudy’s Barbershop, Cupcake Royale and The Stranger, Hedwig raised over $10,000 in benefit of Dan Savage’s It Gets Better Project. Seattle Gay Scene touted Chandelier Productions’ Hedwig as “pure rock n’ roll … a concert of Iggy Pop & David Bowie combined. Fans would die to see this show more than once, but only until next [time] will we see a show of this caliber.”
