Trixie
Trixie is a character originated by Patricia Quinn in the original 1973 London Cast Royal Court Theatre production of The Rocky Horror Show, originally produced in the theatre's second space known as "The Theatre Upstairs". Trixie sings the opening number from the show, "Science Fiction, Double Feature", and the closing number "Science Fiction, Double Feature (Reprise)". The script is vague in regards to this character, referring to her as Magenta (as Usherette). It was not until the show opened in the US in 1974 at the Roxy Theatre, and played by Jamie Donnelly, that she was first known as Trixie, having the name written across the front of the tray. The logo from from The Rocky Horror Show is also often referred to as "Trixie".
Trixie is a personification of the The Lips singing "Science Fiction, Double Feature" during the opening credits of The Rocky Horror Picture Show and her performance is open to interpretation. In Audience Participation, "a Trixie number" is usually a dance number performed by a member of a shadowcast during this portion on the film.
