Every Saturday night, we perform at the Hollywood Blvd. theater in Woodridge, IL – Follow the dancing Elwood!
Hollywood Blvd Cinema is located at:
1001 West 75th Street
Corner of Lemont & 75th (just one mile East of I-355)
Tickets: $8.00 (advance tickets usually go live Tuesdays at Hollywood Blvd’s Website)
You won’t believe this theater – it’s like seeing a movie at Planet Hollywood. It’s full of Hollywood memorabilia, themed auditoriums (the Wizard of Oz! Casablanca!), with a lobby that includes real pieces from Grauman’s Chinese theater and a mini-museum of actual movie costumes and props. We perform in the Red Chinese Theater, an auditorium with classic movie posters, gold Chinese lions, a dragon, and palm trees flanking the screen. You have to see this place!
But there’s more – the theater offers not only a full costumed Rocky Horror cast, but dinner and a movie! Waitstaff bring food and drinks right to your seat during the show (one item minimum purchase) – they have a full bar and food menu.
The Lobby (and bar) open at 10:45pm, so come by early, and have a drink (or three) before you even get seated in the auditorium! Meet members of the cast, crew, and other audience members – schmooze and be seen (dressing up is encouraged). Buy your Survival Kits from Ron, so you get first pick and don’t have to get up and do it later.

- Take I-94 East, exiting on I-294 South.

Please send the prices & show time for the Arcada on Saturday, 7/29. Trying to decide between there and the Hollywood on Saturday – What’s the price there? Is the show & participation the same? How much are the prop kits that you guys sell? bringing you a new generation of Rocky Freaks 🙂
It’s now Saturday so yu may have already gone to the Arcada but the cost of a ticket at Hollywood is only 8 bux, however the theatre does require you to buy at least one food or drink item, (bottle o water or a martini), (tub of popcorn, or full meal), it’s your choice. Show always starts at midnight. Bring all your friends, the more the merrier!
oh, and our Survival Kits are $3.00 each or 2 for $5.00.
In general, shows at the Arcada are a little looser; it’s a monthly show and the setup’s sometimes different, depending on what other acts the Arcada had that month. This can lead to additional entertainment for the audience as the cast reblocks the show based on a stage that’s a completely different shape from the previous month. The Arcada has a bar, but they don’t serve food during the show. The Arcada shows the DVD; the Hollywood still shows the film on film. Hollywood Blvd is a salute to old movie theaters; the Arcada *is* an old movie theater. And… Read more »
Hello! I have never been to your show or your state before and I am planning on traveling from Nebraska to attend your show in October. I have a few questions. Would someone be so kind as to send me an email address? I am really looking forward to seeing your show and visiting Chicago for the first time!
Sure! You can contact us at cast@completelycrazy.net . Or you can just email Ruth, who maintains the website.
Looking forward to seeing you in Chicagoland!
Thanks! I know Ruth and Wally from when they performed in Nebraska. I was just watching your cast youtube videos. I can’t wait to see you guys live!
I have a quick question? when do you do theme nights??
John – pretty much a) when we feel like it, b) when there’s a holiday (V-Day, St. Pat’s, Christmas), or c) when there’s something going on that we think merits one (like our upcoming Superhero Night July 28 for the release of Dark Knight Returns). Theme nights are usually announced in advance, as we know they’re coming since we have to prep for them.
When do you perform @ Arcada? Is it the last Friday of the month? I just got home from the theatre and the lights were out and the doors locked.
Mike, it was the last Friday of the month, but the January 2013 show was the last Rocky show at the Arcada.
I’ve never seen the RHPS in a theatre before, and my prom group and I were considering trying to find a midnight showing. Our prom is the first of June.
1. Would there be a showing that night? (It’s a Saturday)
2. Would that showing be at the Hollywood Blvd. ?
3. I’ve heard that you must be 18 years old to see the show in a theatre. Is this the case here?
Thanks.
Hi, Maeve!
Yes, we perform every Saturday at Hollywood Blvd. Rocky Horror is rated “R,” which means according to the MPAA: “R — Restricted. Children Under 17 Require Accompanying Parent or Adult Guardian.” We’ve never seen anyone checking IDs, though.
Hope to see you June 1! It’s always fun to see people in their prom finery.
