It’s time to play Did You Know? And tonight’s category is The Rocky Horror Show. Did you know that during the rehearsals for the show’s original run in London, director Jim Sharman took the cast to the cinema to see a screening of the film, Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls?

the original Janet and Brad — Julie Covington and Christopher Malcolm
