Key West, FL —The Waterfront Playhouse invites audiences to do the Time Warp again this October with its 5th annual production of Richard O’Brien’s cult-classic musical “The Rocky Horror Show”. Running October 15–24, 2025, this electrifying production coincides with the 50th anniversary of the iconic film “The Rocky Horror Picture Show”, making this season’s performances bigger, bolder, and wilder than ever before.

Leading the cast is acclaimed Chicago actor Kevin Kantor, making their Waterfront debut as the flamboyant and unforgettable Dr. Frank N. Furter. Kantor, known for their dynamic stage presence and boundary-pushing performances, brings a fresh energy to the role while honoring the show’s legendary legacy.

Joining Kantor is a talented ensemble of returning Waterfront favorites including Arthur Crocker, Belle Jampol, Lauren Thompson, Phillip Cole White, and Mathias Maloff- ensuring that fans of past productions will recognize beloved faces while newcomers are welcomed into the outrageous, over-the-top fun that only “The Rocky Horror Show” delivers. Former Artistic Director Tom Thayer returns to Key West to direct this exuberant production.

“This has become a heavily anticipated Fantasy Fest tradition at the Waterfront,” says Patrick New, Artistic Director. “Every year, audiences come ready to dress up, sing out, and immerse themselves in the wild, liberating spirit of ‘Rocky Horror’. With the 50th anniversary of the film, this season is extra special—part celebration, part party, and pure rock-and-roll theatre.”

Audiences can expect all the outrageous costumes, unforgettable songs, and interactive moments that have cemented “The Rocky Horror Show” as one of the most unique and exhilarating nights in live theatre. Prop bags and vocal audience participation are encouraged, making every performance a one-of-a-kind event.

Performances run October 15–24, 2025 at the Waterfront Playhouse, Key West’s premier professional theatre. Tickets are expected to sell quickly for this annual favorite.
