The play opened at the Central Theatre (a cinema) in October 1977. The program for the show quotes the former artistic director of Oslo Nye Teater, Toralv Maurstadelva: "Ever since I saw it in London for four years since I wanted to see if we could manage to make a show of it here at home." With the help of Ole Paus and Johan Fillinger texts were translated into Norwegian. Brian Thomson and David Toguri were imported to design and direct. The original costumes by Sue Blane were also used. The cast list was populated with both established actors and people from the music industry. Eddie was interpreted by Per Elvis Granberg, while Jahn Teigen and Gro Anita SCHØNN occupied roles as Riff Raff and Magenta-. Knut Husebø did an outstanding interpretation of Frank N. Furter both on stage and musically, while Ivar Nørve and Kari Ann Grønsund gave a credible Norwegian Jan (Brad) and Jane (Janet).
There were newspaper articles and debates about the decline of morals, as everywhere Rocky Horror Show had been shown. It was, however, performed a total of 129 times during the period from 11 October 1977 to 18 March 1978.
