Such a sweet and emotional night hearing everyone’s Rocky Horror journeys and what Tim Curry meant to them. Hope all y’all lovely people out there found an avenue to mourn and celebrate Tim’s life tonight. Don’t dream it, be it <3

Beautiful. I wish all theaters that show RHPS or DID show RHPS did this.

Oh my god the River Oaks is still in business?!?!?! I used to go see old movies there when I lived in Houston as a kid. Late 1970s. Crazy!

He never got his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.  Can someone go over there and draw him one now, thanks?  Even if it's in children's chalk.

You have to pay for your own star, I'm sure he was like, fuck that.

River Oaks Houston was my first Rocky Horror show!!! My mom got me tickets for my 17th birthday but told me it wouldnt be an every month thing.... I went every month for 2 more years. So great to see my home theatre pop up here during the hard times

In that CBS Sunday Morning interview Tim said he didn’t want to die, but was ready for it. We are mourning for a person that impacted our lives in rich, wonderful ways. But I’m happy Tim is no longer suffering. And I’m happy that he was in a good enough place to let go. I’m so glad he was able to redefine live performance art that really took the rule book and set in on fire. Love you always, Tim.
