History
The attraction opened at both Universal Studios Florida and Universal Studios Hollywood in 1992. The Florida venue replaced An American Tail Theatre which was opened with the park on June 7, 1990 and removed in 1992. The Hollywood venue replaced The Adventures of Conan: A Sword and Sorcery Spectacular, which opened in the Castle Theater in 1983, and was removed in 1992. It was once located in a small outdoor theater (where Coke Soak is currently occupied) before moving indoors in 1995. The Japan venue is called Universal Monsters Live Rock and Roll Show.
The venue at Universal Studios Florida was refurbished in 1994, to include the addition of a canopy to block the sun. In 2002, the show itself was changed to add more modern songs and costumes in addition to the removal of The Phantom of the Opera, who was replaced by Hip and Hop, Beetlejuice's Translyvania cheerleaders. The show was changed once again slightly in 2006 this time showcasing a new opening, different song tracks (with the exception of I Will Survive and It's Raining Men), and slightly more adult themes giving itself a PG-13 rating.
The show in Orlando and Japan remains operating today, while the show in Hollywood was removed in 1999, and replaced by Spider-Man Rocks.
