Talk about warped time.

At a time when the pop culture is rapidly leaving Boomers in the planetary dust, the cult-classic “Rocky Horror Show” continues to captivate new generations of gender-fluid, fishnet-wearing glitter-bombers who don’t fit into society’s norms.

“I think it’s still so popular because, 50 years ago, the movie created a community where there wasn’t one before,” said Jalyn Webb, a Colorado theater veteran who is co-launching a new theater company called Beehive Productions with a scantily dressed live staging of the campy rock ’n’ roll, sci-fi, goth stage musical that was adapted into the legendary 1975 Tim Curry film.

“When this story was first written, the Brits were making fun of Americans for their excessiveness and repression,” Webb added, ”and in many ways, young people still don’t feel fully free to be who they are.”

When it comes to creating a world that works for you, as the song says: “Don’t dream it. Be it.”

Beehive’s is one of three separate live stage productions of the “Rocky Horror” musical being simultaneously staged by theater companies in Denver, Aurora and Conifer. Audience participation is not only encouraged – it is encouraged within an inch of your life.

You can see the cult classic story performed live onstage by the brand-new Beehive Productions at the Denver Improv Comedy Club in Northfield through Oct. 31; by StageDoor Theatre through Oct. 27 in Conifer; and by Two Cent Lion Theatre Company through this weekend only at the People’s Building in Aurora.

To be clear, those three are live stage musicals. If you want to see the film itself, you have several options this month along with an accompanying “shadow cast” of actors from a company called “Colorado’s Elusive Ingredient.” They mirror the movie characters’ antics while leading the audience in all manner of raunchy antics and pre-show fun, including providing them with bags of props that come in handy throughout the story and encouraging the audience to yell callbacks, dance and sing along throughout. First up: The MCA Denver at the Holiday Theater will be playing it at 10 p.m. Friday (Oct. 4). See accompanying chart for other dates.

And wait, there’s more: In something of a crossover, those very same “Elusive Ingredient” shadow actors will join Two Cent Lion at its closing performance at 9 p.m. Saturday in Aurora, where its contribution will include leading “Rocky Horror virgins” (those who have never attended a live “Rocky” event before) in good-natured initiation games.

This is just the sixth production for the queer-centered Two Cent Lion Theatre Company, and its first musical. “The Rocky Horror Show” might be older than their parents, but co-founder Kevin Douglas says the queer cult classic “fits in nicely with our mission of putting LGBTQ+ stories in the spotlight.”

“‘Rocky Horror’ is for everyone,” Douglas said. “It can connect with Gen Xers who used to sneak out of the house to throw rice at the screen, and with young people today who have Instagram handles inspired by quotes from songs from the movie. ‘Rocky’ casts such a huge net across queer culture and counterculture – so we see our show as a great opportunity to invite a wide swath of people in.”

Beehive is new, but co-founder/director Bryan Bell, his actors and musicians are well-established in the local theater community. Why then perform only on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Halloween Thursday? Because their venue is a regional comedy club on weekends.

The Denver Improv is part of a group of 30 comedy venues around the country – ”and this is the first time anything like this has ever been attempted at any of them,” General Manager Christ Gottlieb said of staging a full-on stage musical.

But the unusual performing schedule comes with a casting windfall: The all-star cast includes highly sought actors who are also performing in some of area’s biggest fall productions, which typically don’t perform on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Anne Terze-Schwarz, for example, who is blowing minds as Jenna in the Arvada Center’s “Waitress,” is also playing virginal (but not for long) Janet Weiss because (except for Oct. 9) these nights don’t conflict with “Waitress.” Piper Lindsay Arpan, a Broadway actor now prominently featured in “Jersey Boys” at the Littleton Town Hall Arts Center, is in the ensemble, alongside big local names including Patric Case as Frank-N-Furter, Brian Cronin, Traci Kern, Sara Kowalski and many more.

“If you come, you will see the absolute iconic people of this performing community from all across the Front Range,” Webb said. “You will see people who are ‘the hot and the now,’ and you will see the people who are coming up. These voices and these people are so insanely amazing.”
