Formed in July 2000, Cards 4 Sorrow, Brisbane's Rocky Horror Picture Show Floorshow Cast, have performed in such venues as Schonell Theatre, Boggo Road jail and Cremorne Theatre, plus appeared on Briz31's Tamara Tonite, Channel 9's 'Extra'... and even Channel 10's weather!
You can catch the cast every few months at Globe Theatre, 220 Brunswick St Fortitude Valley.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a 1975 British film starring Susan Sarandon and Tim Curry that began as a stage musical in 1973 and went on to become the longest running cult film of all time.
The concept of a 'floorshow cast' began in 1976 when a Los Angeles group would perform a Rocky-themed lip-synch act on the stage in between the evening’s screenings.
Over the years, this idea has developed with groups now performing during the screenings. In character and in costume, the casts perform a live lip-synch floorshow on the stage in front of the screen whilst the film plays.
Now, 33 years on, audience members are still flocking to screenings of the film all over the world. Nothing can beat seeing the film with a live cast in costume, and with audience members singing-along and shouting audience participation lines in time with the film.
(For those wondering, our name is taken from a line in the song I’m Going Home in which Frank N Furter sings "...cards for sorrow, cards for pain..." When you attend our screenings, be sure to let out a big cheer during this part!)
