The first production of The Rocky Horror Show was at the 63-seat Royal Court Theater, in the Theater Upstairs.It opened on June 19, 1973 and ran there until July 20. The original production won the 1973 Evening Standard Theatre Award for Best Musical, and moved first to the Chelsea Classic Cinema (8/14/73-10/20/73) and then to the King's Road Theater (11/3/73-3/31/79).
