The Rocky Horror Picture Show At The Tiffany Theater
May 4, 2011
Facebook is going to start "archiving" their groups.
With that, we have decided to create a new Facebook group for
The Rocky Horror Picture Show At The Tiffany Theater - Hollywood
The Tiffany Theater was one the pioneering venues for Rocky Horror on the West Coast from June 10, 1977 - March 12, 1983. It was well known, and is well remembered for it's notoriously subversive, and decadent party atmosphere.
Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, and Barry Bostwick all saw Rocky Horror at the Tiffany.
I ask that everyone and anyone who either went to the Tiffany, or are students of RHPS history to join this new group dedicated our very special theater.
This group is for anyone and everyone that ever went to Rocky Horror At The Tiffany Theater in Hollywood CA.
Please feel free to add your comments, thoughts, memories, and photos.
This group is open to ALL Rocky Horror fans, no matter who they are, where they went, or where they are today.

The Steinway Pianola Meets Rocky Horror

Here's a rare Rocky record.
I bought it at the Semi-Annual Transylvanian Convention in 1981. I still have it, and it's in excellent condition.

I've Seen It!
Apr 13, 2011
My name is Troy Martin.
I have been a Rocky Horror fan for more than 30 years.
I first heard the term "Rocky Horror" when I saw an Original Roxy Cast LP in a
New Jersey supermarket in 1974. I thought the album cover looked cool.
In 1976, I saw the RHPS soundtrack album cover in a Jem Records catalog.
In July 1978, I heard Tim Curry sing "Sweet Transvestite" on The Dr. Demento Show broadcast on KMET-FM. That single listening experience changed my life.
On February 2, 1979, I saw the film when it opened at the UA 4 Tyler Mall in Riverside CA. I've been going back ever since.
I did a few cool things:
I was a founding member of "Erotic Nightmares".
We were one of the first regular Rocky casts in Southern California.
We entertained and terrorized people.
I was the one of the first Crims.
I know that I wasn't THE very first Crim, but I do know that I was the only regular, working, and visible Crim for A...Very...Long...Time!
I'm an alumni of the legendary Tiffany Theater in West Hollywood CA.
I was there from October 1979 to March 13, 1983.
I saw the film 100 times within a year since it played twice nightly on both Friday & Saturday nights. We wouldn't get out of the theater until 4:30 AM.
I lost my virginity (yes...the real one) during a performance of the film in 1980.
I saw the North American Tour of "The Rocky Horror Show" in February 1981.
Kim Milford played Rocky in this production.
In August 1981, I was one of the first Rocky fans to see "Shock Treatment" at a private screening on the 20th Century-Fox lot, and I attended it's opening night at the Vista Theater in Hollywood CA on October 30, 1981.
I can safely say I've seen "THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW" at least 500 times in 18 different theaters across America.
I started seeing it at the Nuart in Los Angeles in 1986.
I've met Tim Curry many times over the years.
I did a scene with Barry Bostwick on "Spin City".
I met Richard O'Brien (He was in a bad mood).
I've been to 6 conventions.
I recorded the entire soundtrack in my own voice.

There is a chance that I might meet you at Rocky.
