The Roxy Theatre (sometimes just The Roxy) is a famous nightclub
on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, California.
It was founded in the early 1970s by Elmer Valentine and Mario Maglieri, who later brought in
partner and manager Lou Adler. (Adler
was actually responsible for bringing the stage play Rocky Horror
Show to the United States, and it opened its first American run at
The Roxy Theatre in 1974, before it was made into the movie Rocky Horror Picture Show the next year.)
Hundreds of famous and yet-to-be-famous bands have played its 400-500 capacity theater.
The small On The Rox bar above the club has hosted a wide variety of debauchery in its history, including parties
arranged by "Hollywood Madam" Heidi
Fleiss.
