Rocky Horror Spooktacular with Barry Bostwick

If you're looking for LA concerts that go well beyond a standard night out, the Rocky Horror Picture Show Spooktacular Tour delivers something genuinely different. Barry Bostwick, who played Brad Majors in the 1975 film, brings the whole circus to The Wiltern on October 26, 2026, just days before Halloween.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show has been a midnight-movie institution for over five decades. Audiences don't just watch it; they talk back, throw toast, carry newspapers over their heads, and show up in fishnet stockings and lab coats. The Spooktacular Tour leans into all of that. With Bostwick himself on hand, this isn't a movie screening with ambient crowd noise; it's a live event built around one of the original cast members participating in the chaos.

The Wiltern is one of the best rooms in Los Angeles for this kind of show. The 1930s Art Deco theater seats around 1,850 and has a standing floor that fills in when people want to dance or get closer to the stage. The acoustic profile is clear without being sterile, and the sight lines from most spots in the room are solid. It's a venue that suits a rowdy, participatory crowd without making the whole thing feel like a gymnasium.

This is an October 26 show, which puts it right in the sweet spot of Halloween week. Expect a fully costumed crowd. Dressing up as Magenta, Columbia, Frank-N-Furter, or even Brad and Janet is part of the deal. If you've never been to a Rocky Horror event with a live component, this one, anchored by an original cast member, is a strong entry point.

Tickets are available through Ticketmaster. The Wiltern is on Wilshire at Western Avenue. Street parking in the neighborhood can be tight; the Metro K Line and Purple Line both stop nearby, which makes transit a practical option. Plan to arrive with some time to spare if you want to get your costume sorted or grab a drink before things kick off.
