       HONOLULU (July 1, 2008) — Held over a second time to accommodate demand, Manoa Valley Theatre's popular production of Richard O'Brien's Rocky Horror Show , the biggest and baddest rock'n'roll musical in the universe, will now run through August 3.

       Spoofing America 's mid-century science fiction and horror flicks, Rocky Horror Show lovingly skewers each cliché with rock music, comedy, and wacky gender-bending sensuality. On the way to visit an old college professor, two clean-cut kids run into tire trouble and seek help at the sight of a light down the road. It's coming from the Frankenstein place where Dr. Frank N. Furter is in the midst of one of his maniacal experiments. What follows is a night of fun, frolics and frivolity with that sweet transvestite and his motley crew of misfits. Complete with sass from the audience, cascading toilet paper and an array of other audience participation props, this deliberately kitschy rock 'n' roll sci fi gothic is more fun than ever!
