Get your fishnets and glitter ready—Tim Curry’s electrifying legacy as Dr. Frank-N-Furter returns in full force for The Rocky Horror Picture Show’s 50th Anniversary! This legendary cult classic is celebrating half a century in true rock ‘n’ roll fashion—with the man himself, Tim Curry, joining in some of the year’s most outrageous events and screenings.
Tim Curry and the Ultimate 50th Anniversary Party
The big headline: Tim Curry is making rare in-person appearances at several anniversary events, including a sold-out September 26 screening of the newly restored 4K edition at the Academy Museum’s David Geffen Theater in Los Angeles. This isn’t your usual fan screening—Curry joins original producer Lou Adler and the infamous Sins O’ The Flesh shadow cast for a Q&A, bringing together cast, creators, and generations of die-hard fans under one roof.
And that’s just the start! The major celebration tour runs from September through November 2025, hitting at least 55 cities with screenings, meet-and-greets, costume contests, and midnight madness across the U.S. and Canada. Plus, the November 2 event at the Grove of Anaheim is the only nationwide celebration where all four main stars—Tim Curry, Barry Bostwick, Nell Campbell, and Patricia Quinn—will appear together live for fans. Tickets include prop bags and, yes, full audience participation is back!
