Cool Moments from the Show
This is in no way a spoiler to the show (though one would expect if you found this website you
at least know SOMETHING about Rocky Horror) In any case, this is just a list of some of the things that really
made me laugh, or caught my attention over the shows I have seen. There's very little in here about the actual
show, just mostly about experiences while THERE. This ain't Jesus Christ Superstar, folks. Or even Sound of Music.
(no matter WHAT they say!!!)
- That way-cool lady I sat next to in the front row on Thursday 7/27. I was dressed up as Mr. Hand, from Dark
City. (I've been trying to make my costumes a retrospective look at Richard roles- I also did Mephistopheles Smith)
I had no eyebrows, thankfully- just by makeup- and I suddenly felt sorry for this sweet little old lady sitting
next to me. So I talked to her a bit- the general stuff; have you seen/heard about Rocky, I tend to shout (a little-
ha!) and please, please don't take offense to anything I might shout out, because chances are, it'll be crude.
She looked at me with the sweetest little smile and said "Well, I'm hard of hearing, so you just might have
to shout for me to hear it at all, and secondly- I've been on this earth for 77 years. If I'm going to be offended
by something, I should just call it quits"
After the show was over, she thanked me and said she was happy she was next to me so she could hear everything
I said clearly, and how entertaining the whole thing was when done together.
Why can't everyone over 60 be like this???? I'm considering adopting her as a grandma, after all I am short
one . . .
- The gentleman in the parking lot I was walking in front of dressed as Mephistopheles Smith. He said something
to me, I turned and said "Uh, sure, whatever". Simply because I couldn't make out what he was saying.
He turned to his female companion and remarked "Well, she's not very witty".
I've seen different scripts for RHS, and even RHPS had a few incarnations before it made it to the screen, but
I don't remember a devil anywhere . . . I wish I'd seen him after the show. Because man was HE in for a surprise
. . .
- During intermission, 7/28 . . . a few close (and hopefully drunk, so they have an excuse) friends and their
acappella version of Charles Atlas on the front lawn of the Beck . . .
- The argument I had with two gentlemen who seemed convinced that no one says or throws anything at the stage
show. If I had the money to go to Europe- I'd be there. But if I had even more, I'd get these two some tickets
and show them a British audience. They may be reserved normally, but get them into some lingerie and arm them with
some kit-kat bars (one of the odder things they throw over there . . . "Suddenly, you get a break" "Gimme
a break, gimme a break", etc) and they're one raucous crowd.
- Wishing I had a nickel for every time I heard "Hey, aren't you from the Cedar Lee?"
- The usherette (not the one on stage) who didn't see my ticket.
"Are you going to watch this show?"
"What else would I do with it?"
- Wishing I had another nickel for every time someone said "Oh my goodness" when Frank throws off the
cape. I'd be one rich Rocky Horror fan.
- The very nice grandmother whom I spoke with during intermission on the Sat 7/29 show, who was so enthused about
the whole thing she asked for details about the Vegas Con . . . Another candidate for adoption . . .
- Being pointed out once or twice during the breaks in the first and second verses of Science Fiction by the
Usherette . . . and all the candy. :)
- Trying to guess whether Bob will change wigs all night or not.
- Trying to stay one step ahead of the Narrator, and dodge his attempts to rephrase his lines. (not easy)
- Once in a While. Ha! (No way, I'm not spoiling it- go see the show!!!)
