Who are Frankie's Favorite Obsession? Some info about Las Vegas' RECORD BREAKING Rocky Horror Picture Show Performing Cast!
Frankie's Favorite Obsession was formed in June of 2001 by several dedicated Rocky Horror performers who came together for the common cause of bringing Las Vegas a quality Rocky Horror Picture Show performing cast. Please check the main page for show dates, times and special event announcements.
To date, FFO has had several major accomplishments:
- On October 30, 2008, over 800 people were in attendance for the big Halloween show\ at UNLV, more than doubling the record for any show in Las Vegas!
- FFO was on the cover of the April 26, 2007 issue of the Las Vegas Citylife and was featured in an article about cult fans.
- On May 6, 2006, nearly 300 people turned out for Pimp 'N Ho Lingerie Night at Hamburger Mary's - this was a huge night and broke all attendance records for any non-Halloween show ever in Las Vegas!
- FFO had 250+ people turn out for the official Las Vegas 30th Anniversary Halloween show at midnight on October 29th, 2005, where we reprised our own special version of Thriller in a totally revised, audience-interactive, Rocky Horror-oriented format. This time we had DVD projection, fog, special lighting and new chorography. This Tropicana Cinemas record still stands.
- FFO performed a tribute to Bruce Kimmel's cult classic "The First Nudie Musical" with our own special rendition of "Hello Honey, What Ya Doin' Tonight?" at Cirque Du Rockeil, the fan-thrown 30th Anniversary Rocky Horror Picture Show convention (June 2005).
- Has been in a feature article written by FFO's own Jonathan Ruggiero in the January 2005 issue of CLASS! Magazine (For all the high schools in Las Vegas)
- FFO was the center of a feature article in the December, 2004 issue of Stok'd Magazine (now defunct).
- On September 11, 2004, FFO broke the then-audience attendance record for any regular showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show at the Tropicana Cinemas (220+ people) with the first ever Lingerie Night held at the theater.
- And a charity event for AFAN (Awareness For AIDS in Nevada) called 'A Rocky Horror Halloween' at Irwin Productions' @ Chameleon Studios (a huge thanks to Robert Warden) over Halloween weekend of 2003. This particular event was hailed by the Las Vegas Review Journal as "one of THE TOP things to do for Halloween."
- A performance of The Time Warp at The Palms Hotel & Casino's Brenden Theatres in September of 2002
- Halloween, 2001 at Cafe Espresso Roma in which FFO performed a Rocky Horror Musical Revue (with the blessing of producer Lou Adler)
FFO are a talented, selfless group who believes in doing a quality presentation. We have several seasoned performers, some of whom have been performing Rocky Horror since the late 90s! FFO firmly believes that the audience comes first and that putting on the best performance we can is what this is all about. All cast members are over the age of 18 and encouraged to have their own costumes, props and makeup.
