That line, spoken by Frank N Furter, should be everyone's mantra going forward.
Well, I hope that everyone is having a wonderful Halloween weekend. I don't think I'll hit up a live shadowcast version of RHPS this year. Still really worried about covid and such. Plus I might make one of the Samhain rituals, and that's enough public outings for me for one weekend.
But do go sometime if you haven't. Rocky Horror Picture Show is so much fun to see in person on a large screen, with all the audience participation. It's where you can really let your freak flag fly, and so many of my friends used the movie as a backdrop for their own coming out stories.
I wanted something simple for the caption, and still have a bit of a reveal, sort of like how Brad and Janet first encounter Frank coming out of the elevator, and throwing off his cape. It's affirming to have both sides of the couple do drag for each other, and I wanted to touch on that.
Please do share memories of watching RHPS with friends, or strangers, or both! I understudied Riff a few times, although mostly performed as Eddie. Anyone else out there a former or current shadowcast member? Oh how I loved to go to Denny's afterwards for late night breakfast!
Everyone knows Tim Curry's wonderful performance, but there's been other ones too. This is from an Amnesty International program that Richard O'Brien organized, using former cast members of the live shows. Michael Ball is truly a great performer. Enjoy!
