In the year 1973 in a small theater in London a crazy new play premiered that was destined to change the life of transvestites and normal people alike. The movie come soon afterwards 1975.

I think there has never been anything like it again. The Show immediately become a cult with a huge following with an important twist. Fans of movies usually limit themselves to buying merchandise of their obsession - but Rocky Fans went much further. They dressed up like their crazy idols and went into movie theaters in full gear to sing and dance to the scenes on the screen. It was a hot parallel reenactment with loads of singing, screaming and makeup. If you never been to a Rocky show with such fans you don’t know what you have been missing. (Here are some guidelines what to bring and to do during a show with fans.)

Well, Star Wars and Star Trek fans  also do dress up like their idols - but they sing and dance in the theatres, nor do they get laid as often as raunchy bisexual and transsexual Dr. Frank-N-Furter.

Compared to today’s rather stupid gangster HipHop acts and all these neurotic pop princesses this was really crazy, funny and highly inspiring. It was all about joining the party - and not consuming it.

PS: I pray to the God’s there will NEVER be a remake made by Hollywood.
