 The Roxy Theatre - Definition 

See The Roxy for the nightclub in London, and Roxy NYC for the nightclub in New York City.

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.
