Rocky Horror Monument To Be Erected
New Zealand town to erect Rocky Horror monument
Green light for Hamilton's Rocky Horror statue
It was a jump too far to the left for two city councillors, but Hamilton's plans for a statue celebrating the Rocky Horror Picture Show have been approved.
Councillors voted 12-2 to back a Weta Workshop-designed tribute to former Hamiltonian and show creator Richard O'Brien for the city's main street.
Ratepayers will contribute $25,000 toward the $125,000 statue of Riff Raff, to be erected on the former Embassy Theatre site, possibly by November.
The Perry Foundation has pledged $100,000 and it is hoped that O'Brien can attend the unveiling.
O'Brien says he is "exceptionally flattered" by the statue plan.
