Forty-three years later, “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” can still draw a crowd.

And now those crowds are coming to Wilmington.

Frankie’s Midnight Runners – a new shadow cast performing the cult favorite – is debuting its show at the 221-seat Theatre N (1007 N. Orange St.) Saturday night. (It will return every other Saturday night.)

The cast will act as the film is shown on the screen behind them for an 18-and-older-only crowd with doors opening at 11:15 p.m. (The movie begins at midnight.)

Tickets are $9 at the door.

This group of “Rocky Horror” lovers is different than the group that had hosted regular events at the now-closed Newark Cinema 3 on Main Street.

New movie theater planned in Newark

Those shows were put on by Formal Dress Optional (formaldressoptional.org), which now performs the show on the second Saturday of each month at That Performance Place (480 Century Blvd., near Elsmere).
