Newton Theatre plans Rocky Horror Halloween party

NEWTON — The Newton Theatre will host a Rocky Horror Picture Show Halloween party on Saturday, Oct. 31. A pre-movie party will begin at 8 p.m. with music, dancing and a costume contest. The cult classic will be shown immediately following. Prop bags will be sold in the lobby for audience participation.

A professional shadow cast, The Home of Happiness, will perform scenes throughout the movie. This will add an exciting element to the party atmosphere and moviegoing experience.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show is the longest running theatrical in history, playing continuously in theaters since 1975. The story of Brad and Janet takes a strange twist after their car breaks down and they unwittingly become houseguests of the outlandish Dr. Frank-N-Furter, who introduces himself to them in the iconic song Sweet Transvestite. Song, dance and pandemonium ensues with a bizarre cast of characters.

Tickets for The Rocky Horror Picture Show Halloween Party are $10. Purchase tickets by visiting www.thenewtontheatre.com or contact the Box Office at 973-383-3700.
