Houston Symphony is doing the time warp again this weekend as it presents The Rocky Horror Picture Show on Saturday. This interactive screening of Tim Curry’s campy cult classic includes a shadow cast, costume contest and a party afterward.
The most famous lips in cinema history will be on the big screen with Houston Symphony this weekend.
Rocky Horror started as a stage production, which celebrated its 50th anniversary last year. The film adaptation followed. Quinn says both were a crazy ride. “This film was a complete dud. It was made in six weeks. There was no budget,” she said. “Jim Sharman, the director, refused to have anyone else but Tim Curry and all of us from the original show in the cast, and we were no-names at the time. Mick Jagger and Bowie and the others who wanted to play Frankenfurter, Jim would not have them.”
While Quinn has experienced a lifelong career in entertainment, she is most recognized for her role as Magenta. The same thing goes for her lips. “Nell and I did an interview when we were doing a ComicCon. We were doing an interview on television, and the woman said, ‘You never get tired of doing these comic cons?’ And Nell said, ‘Well, it's very nice to be worshiped.’ And the woman said, ‘Oh, I could do with a bit of that,’ and Nell said, ‘Get a dog.’ What I discovered, Nell wasn't wrong. It’s wonderful to be worshiped. I kind of feel like a rock-and-roll star,” Quinn said.
