In March 1974, The Rocky Horror Show made it to the States, on the West coast, in Los Angeles and opened on Sunset Boulevard . The cast only included Tim Curry from the original cast and Meatloaf who did his debut here. The show was scheduled for 9 months and then the musical would be turned into a movie, The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
