I was pretty excited when I heard my college alma mater was going to do Rocky Horror.  It is only about an hour drive from where I live now and the admission price was only about $8.  So even if the show had been bad, it would have been worth seeing multiple times; however, the show was pretty good. 

This show asked did not allow audience participation, which is ok, but honestly I typically believe that participation has a life of its own.  Sometimes it feels right and sometimes it doesn’t, but forbidding it, makes it just feel a bit wrong.

I liked the set for the show, they had a fly system and they used it, which allowed for some cool effects.  Also they had a video screen above the stage which they used for various things including the films from Science Fiction Double Feature.   The video was done very well.  If I had to pick a weakness for this show I think it would be the costumes.  They had a real Halloween store kind of feel to them.  The cast still managed to sex it up quite a bit, so no harm no foul.  Frank was played a little too “high school athlete feigning gay” for my taste.  I especially enjoyed the mohawked Riff Raff.  Columbia was adorable.  The Phantoms were fun as always.  We saw the show several times and thoroughly enjoyed it.
