Cast History

In 2023, The Art Theatre of Long Beach and its previous Rocky Horror shadow cast parted ways, leaving a vacancy on their stage that would go on for several months. After screening the film both without any performers, and with its infamous pre-show ritual featuring a limited cast, the Theatre began to lay the groundwork for a new troupe in the winter of 2023. In early 2024, the new, unnamed, shadow cast brought together veteran performers, guests from other regional casts, theater staff, and total newcomers.

In March 2024, they put on a show with a shoestring budget. With no name and only a blow-up pool for a tank and a golden cape for Columbia, they were still able to produce a great show. The next month they performed a second time with their new moniker: Bit of Mustard. Alongside a supportive cast and crew, they began to grow in numbers and prop size. Friends, friends of friends, and audience members alike have since joined the team. Their pool tank is now a real tank and Columbia may have gained a sparkly jacket but the core of what Bit of Mustard strives to be will always remain the same.

Friends, friends of friends, and audience members alike have since joined Bit of Mustard. This cast was founded to foster a safe community where members could have a fun, enriching experience without fear of dis-CRIM-ination. Bit of Mustard likes to make cartoonish fun of the movie instead of maintaining total screen accuracy. There have been alternate takes on the film’s costumes, and cast members have been allowed to perform their interpretations of their characters. This ensures that performing is inclusive for everyone. Themed shows such as Pride and ’80s Night give performers a creative opportunity with their wardrobe. We’ve also made an effort to make the crew accessible by ensuring that everyone has a role to play on and offstage.

Don’t get hot and flustered; come see Bit of Mustard!
