    WOW

    by Juggs64

    I have always loved this movie but my 16 y/o daughter and my wife had never had the experiance of seeing this movie live. Well, when we went, not only were the predictable crazies there but "Back Door Productions" had a mini stage of the misc props from the movie setup in front of the stage, complete with items from the lab ect.... All the characters were represented, some better than others. Needless to say more that the expected questions to answer during and after the show due to a cross dressing lead character the had taped and tucked you know what and left everything else exposed in a black see-through outfit. We were treated to a unique version of the film that started out in black and white until the "Timewarp" began then turned into color as expected. Overalll, it was a uniquely interesting experiance. The movie of course is entertaining, but to have local actors\college students that werent even born at movie release time was too much.

    Probably biased, as I'm on the crew

    The Rocky Horror Picture Show by the Full Body Cast is a great experience. I mean, the movie's cute, too, but you don't go for the movie - you go for the people, the pre-show performances... it is raunchy, it is fun. Show up in costume!

    Let's do the time warp again!!!!!!!!!

    It is an amazing movie and when it is done with a live cast of people doing commentary and interacting with it is great. The songs are hilarious and the acting is brilliant. I would recommend it to anyone. However, it is rated R so take caution when decided whether or not to take your children with you because it does get raunchy.
