@berryhader Immediately I’m inclined to say Bluebeard by Charles Ludlam!
It’s actually quite similar to rhps (and shares a lot of the same inspo!) but is somehow even more absurd and raunchy
And look into “Theatre of the Ridiculous” and the Greenwich Village theater scene in the 80s!
my grief over dolly and tim curry is absolutely parasocial but you can't understate the impact that both of those people had for queer people, for women, for people who have always had "weird" interests and big personalities, they were icons for anyone strange
Underrated Tim Curry media to enjoy today 💔
•Fern Gully (one of the best animated films ever, free on Tubi)
•The Secret of Moonacre (Tim Curry is hiding in all your fav obscure childhood movies)
•The audiobook of the first Series of Unfortunate Events he narrated
