Rocky Horror Picture Show midnight showings nearby?
Hi! I am a huge fan of Rocky Horror Picture Show and I love attending midnight showings. This year would be my sixth year in a row of attending one (I’m 23!) and it is my favorite annual Halloween-time tradition.
I went to university out-of-state, so I found midnight showings to go to when I was there, thankfully, but I’m back home for the year and the only place I know of is the Music Box Theatre in Chicago. I really love their midnight showing and their shadowcast (I’ve seen them 3x!), but this year, likely due to Tim Curry’s passing, all of their showings have been sold out. I was extremely disappointed to see that especially since their RHPS midnight showings had never sold out before when I’ve bought tickets for them, even within days of the showing.
I live in Lake County in northern IL, but I am willing to drive anywhere to see a midnight showing this year to continue my tradition! Please give me some recommendations for places to check out - or if you have any info regarding whether or not the Music Box will add more showtimes, please let me know!
TL;DR I am looking to see a Rocky Horror midnight showing this year, but the Music Box Theatre is the only place I know of in the area, so I need more recommendations.
Thanks!
