Rocky Horror Show

Yesterday I went to see 'Rocky Horror Show' on stage...

Again...

I'm not sure if this was the third or the fourth time I've seen it, but it's a show that keeps dragging me back for more (pun intended)...

I caught the earlier of the day's shows (6pm), which meant that there wasn't a great deal of dressing-up (and although I was in costume, I have to admit that I didn't go the whole hog myself) and the audience wasn't at its most vocal - lots of 'virgins' I suspect... (Rumour has it that the later show ran 20 minutes longer because of the audience participation!)

Nevertheless, it was (as always) a great show! Due credit has got to be given to Brian Capron as "The Narrator" and David Badella as "Frank 'N' Furter" - it was a close run race over who stole the show. Capron built up a great 'rapport' with the audience, but you could tell that Badella absolutely relished his role; making it feel fresh - not something that's easy to do considering anyone playing Frank lives in the shadow of Tim Curry's original performance. Given an opportunity, I'd quite happily watch another performance of this production.

I suspect it's time for another viewing of 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' on DVD...
