Of all the Los Angeles famed locales, nothing typifies the cityʼs ever-evolving and anything goes aesthetic like the Sunset Strip. Since Lou Adler, Elliot Roberts and David Geffen opened its doors in the fall of 1973, The Roxy Theatre has chronicled a storied history unlike any other venue the city has to offer. Adler was responsible for bringing the stage play The Rocky Horror Show to the United States and opened its first American run in 1974 the year before it was made into the movie The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
