What’s On Suncoast? 7.5 – 7.12

The Suncoast Post asks, “What’s On, Suncoast?” Here are some ideas for the area this week from July 5 – 12, 2024.

The Rocky Horror Show

The Rocky Horror Show
1010 N WC MacInnes Pl, Tampa, FL 33602

The antici … pation is over for Jobsite’s spin on the OG kitschy, rock ‘n’ roll, sci-fi, gothic musical. Straightlaced Brad Majors and Janet Weiss discover the eerie mansion of Dr. Frank-N-Furter as they look for a phone to call for help with a flat tire. As their innocence (and more) is stripped away, they encounter a castle-full of wild characters while the not-so-good Dr. and his motley crew unveil his latest creation — a Charles Atlas-inspired beefcake named Rocky. Give yourself over to absolute pleasure at this iconic landmark of musical theater – we promise, it’s ASTOUNDING.

Hours: July 10-13 at 7:30 p.m., July 14, 2 p.m.
