The Rocky Horror Picture Show

As a child I grew up with the soundtrack to the Rocky Horror Picture Show blaring in our house. My mom and my cousin went to see it and couldn't get enough of it. through the years, I have also grow very fond of the movie, and ended up buying it, but in VHS. I have watched it close to about 100 times. Its one of those movies I just put on and watch when I am bored. I know almost all the words to it and absolutely love it.

Last night we went to see the "floor show" at the Barnyard theatre. I have been excited and jittery since Monday about going to see it, and finally it happened!!! At first I was annoyed because everybody except me knew you could take your own food into the theatre, so we ended up buying pizza's.

The show was fantastic. I sang along at the top of my voice, and clapped and jumped and everything. The actors were all great, and Frank N Furter was really good, and very true to the Tim Curry character in the movie. Right at the end, when they all did their final bow, I realised I knew the guy who played Riff Raff, and through the whole show everybody was saying how well he is doing. No Richard O'Brien, but very good. I just wished I could have seen my friend Bruce when he was playing Riff Raff. The one and only critique I have, is that I wished that more of the audience knew the words to the participation bits, and brought their props.

EVERYBODY must go see this, even if you are not a RHPS fan.
