The Roxy Theater

Of all the Los Angeles famed locales, nothing typifies the cityʼs ever-evolving and anything goes aesthetic like the Sunset Strip.

Adler was responsible for bringing the stage play The Rocky Horror Show to the United …States and opened its first American run in 1974 the year before it was made into the movie The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
The Roxy has hosted hundreds of other famous acts such as Bob Marley, Bruce Springsteen, X, David Bowie, Warren Zevon, My Chemical Romance, Chickenfoot, Nirvana, Korn, 30 Seconds to Mars, Brian Wilson, Tori Amos, Elisa, Foo Fighters, Meat Loaf, Motley Crue, Guns N’ Roses, Al Stewart, Van Morrison, Avril Lavigne, Papa Roach, Linkin Park, Jane’s Addiction, Jay-Z, Bad Religion, NOFX and the Pussycat Dolls.
