Biography[]
Revenge of the Old Queen[]
Sonny Ammbo was born to Janet Weiss between 1974-1976, and adopted by government official Ray Ammbo sometime after his birth.
Sometime before the events of Revenge of the Old Queen, he started regularly seeing the Rocky Horror show and released his hit single "The Moon Drenched Shores of Transylvania", becoming instantly popular and launching him into teenage heartthrob status. While walking down the street in downtown Washington, commemorating his newfound stardom, he is described as having "probably made love to a few bystanders, beaten up the odd red-neck and wound up in the window of a lingerie shop with a couple of cops and several teenaged girls" by the time the montage ends ("Sweet on the Street")
After meeting Steve Majors, who used the transducer to travel from Alaska to the bathroom of Ray Ammbo, Steve recruits Sonny, Ray, Judy, and Lord De Lordy on a mission to get revenge on the Transylvanians for ruining and ultimately ending the life of his late brother Brad Majors ("I Want To Get My Own Back"). The group are transduced to a hotel bathroom in Denton, where they have a run-in with Janet Weiss, who is reminded of Frank-N-Furter due to his resemblance of their son, Sonny. Both of them have been long-forgotten by Janet at this point. ("No Hiding Place")
Sonny and the rest of the group (including Janet, who followed them into the transducer) go back 15 years in time, outside Frank's castle, where they are caught in the crossfire of vicious shooting between Riff Raff and the Old Queen's Transylvanian embassadors, along with Mary Lou (who followed the Transylvanians). Ray is shot, and reveals the truth about Sonny's heritage before his death. He embraces his mother and grandmother, who can't take the excitement and proceeds to die in front of him. Sonny is left as the sole inheritant to the Transylvanian throne, with Lord De Lordy, Sonny's distant cousin, having died in the crossfire along with his girlfriend Judith Brankmire, another employee of Ray.
Riff-Raff takes Sonny, Janet, and Mary Lou back to Transylvania in the present time, where Sonny is crowned the Big Furter, ruler of the transylvanians ("Little Old Heart Stopping Me").
Music[]
Sonny Ammbo has solos in:
- The Moon Drenched Shores Of Transylvania
- Sweet on the Street
- I Want to Get My Own Back

Trivia[]
- His solo, "The Moon Drenched Shores of Transylvania", is the only song from Revenge of the Old Queen with a known demo.
- It is unknown whether or not he knew about his true heritage before Ray's death. When the truth is revealed to the rest of the cast, he seems eerily nonchalant, however this behavior is displayed by him throughout the entire script.
