The Rocky Horror Show opened in Squamish as planned on Wednesday (Oct. 26), but not without some worries the production's Squamish run might have to be postponed.
The production, playing at the Eagle Eye Theatre in Howe Sound Secondary School, would have faced uncertainty had the labour dispute between B.C. teachers and their employer dragged on longer.
Producer Adriane Polo said the show, produced by Sea to Sky Entertainment, had a successful run in Whistler and on the North Shore.
"The road experience was awesome," said Polo.
"The audiences loved the show. It was so nice to bring a Squamish production to the big city and having them love the show.
"People expect a small community theatre production, but we wowed them in terms of talent and production value. I am so proud of this cast."
Tickets for the Squamish shows sold quickly, so a Sunday show was added in Squamish and Polo said the Sunday show will be an interactive one.
Those who attend the Sunday show are encouraged to dress in costume.
Polo warns that the show is not for children under 14 because of suggestive scenes, course language and mature subject matter.
She said the show, which was made into a cult classic movie in the 1970s starring Tim Curry, features men in high heels, fishnet stockings and girls in garters.
"But it's the rock and roll music that gives it its drive, its soul," said Polo.
She assembled a three-piece band that plays live along with the actors on the stage.
