The Rocky Horror Picture Show comes alive at Notoriety with The Obsession of Las Vegas, a live shadow cast that's been performing since 2001. This isn't just a screening—it's a full immersive experience where talented performers act out every scene in front of the movie, complete with costumes, choreography, and all the campy energy that's made this midnight movie a cult phenomenon for five decades. The Obsession operates as a non-profit built on three core values: love and acceptance for LGBTQIA+ identities, consent, and body positivity.
The evening kicks off with doors opening for VIP guests, followed by general admission, with introductions, a costume contest, and the legendary "Virgin Sacrifice" ceremony for first-timers. The actual movie and live performance start around 9:00 pm, with an after-party featuring character meet-and-greets where you can snap photos with the cast. Prop kits are available so you can participate in all the traditional callbacks and audience interactions. This is an R-rated experience with adult content, strong language, and partial nudity, so guests under 18 need a parent or guardian present, and it's not recommended for anyone under 14.
VIP upgrades get you guaranteed front-row seating, a prop kit, and a souvenir Polaroid with a cast member. The venue has a bar for those 21 and over, making it easy to grab a drink before the show or during the after-party. No outside props are allowed, keeping things safe and organized for everyone in the audience.
