Rocky Opera

Take a jump to the left and step right into Lannie's Clocktower Cabaret.

Bust out the gold lamé hot pants and French maid outfits, because The Rocky Horror Picture Show Experience is alive and well in Denver at Lannie’s Clocktower Cabaret, 1601 Arapahoe Street. Come down and thrill to the ultra-campy cult favorite, indulge in its elaborate audience-participation rituals and dance the Time Warp again — even if it’s for the first time. The classic film — which has run continuously in theaters since its 1975 release — is a sexed-up, gender-bending parody of classic sci-fi B-movies, full of cross-dressing aliens, mad science and musical numbers. It’s more than just a movie, too: A dedicated, experienced band of actors will perform along-side the film, in real time. “They’re just a wacky bunch of people who just love doing it,” explains Lannie Garrett, owner of the Cabaret. “It’s like that Trekkie thing; it’s just a group of people who love to show up week after week and be part of this crowd. It’s really fun.”
