The Rocky Horror Picture Show

As is tradition, a live cast performs in costume in front of the screen as the movie plays. Props, dressing up, and audience participation are highly encouraged.

Slumber
What better way to spend the Halloween weekend than with a girl squad, made up of international circus performers and dancers on the very last night of their lives? Hideaway, a Brooklyn-based circus and theatrical production company creating live and virtual experiences, has taken over Bushwick’s 7,000 square-foot House of Yes, and invites you to decide who gets to live and who dies. The show combines killer dance and jaw-dropping circus in an original and terrifying way. Tickets range from $45-$75.

Feinstein’s/54 Below
The Broadway supper club has theatre fans covered over the Halloween weekend. On October 30, Jay Armstrong Johnson‘s hit concert returns with a Halloween twist—expect Hocus Pocus to make an appearance, a stage full of artists in Halloween costumes, and a prize for the audience member with the best “Studio 54 celebrity” costume. On October 31, Into Sweeney Todd’s Woods, an evening celebrating two of Stephen Sondheim’s most popular musicals, returns for the fourth year in a row. The concert is hosted by Phil Geoffrey Bond from Sondheim Unplugged and features special guest Sarah Rice, who originated the role of Johanna in the Broadway staging of Sweeney Todd.
