Legendary musical The Rocky Horror Show is commemorating its fiftieth year with a touring production and gala event.

Since its inaugural performance at The Royal Court Theatre on June 19th 1973, The Rocky Horror Show has become the longest continuous running contemporary musical anywhere in the world. It has been seen by more than 30 million people globally (in over 30 countries) and translated into 20 languages.

Andy Leighton MD of Druidcrest, the head rights holder, and of Interfishnet Ltd – a company owned by The Rocky Horror Show creator Richard O’Brien – has compiled a list of the stage show cast that have appeared since 1973 as part of a project with Online Blockchain plc.  Anyone included on this list is invited to claim a unique NFT of their character ahead of the public launch of The Rocky Horror Show NFT collection on June 19th, 2023.

Potential recipients include Russell Crowe, Kristian Lavercombe, Stephen Webb, Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Jerry Springer, Jason Donovan, Patricia Quinn, Rena Sasamoto, Amanda Redman, Sam Attwater, Jonathan Wilkes, Christine Hamilton, Suzanne Shaw, Richard Meek, Edward Tudor-Pole, Roxanne Pallett and Didintle Khunou. Rocky Horror creator Richard O’Brien will be the first cast member to receive one of the NFTs.

“Rocky Horror has some roll call. In conjunction with Interfishnet, we’re delighted to offer the stage stars from the musical’s illustrious 50-year history the opportunity to receive these exclusive collectibles for free before they go on sale,” said Clem Chambers, CEO of Online Blockchain plc. “NFTs have the potential to build and strengthen communities in numerous ways and The Rocky Horror Show NFTs will be a great tool for engaging with the legions of global Rocky fans.”

An NFT (Non-Fungible Token) is a digital asset that represents ownership of a unique item/piece of content such as an artwork, music, a video or other type of digital media. A Rocky Horror Show NFT, as well as being a desirable collectable, is planned to act as a key to access virtual and in-real-life experiences, opportunities, rewards and merchandise for holders as part of the planned The Rocky Horror Show metaverse.
