A LITTLE ABOUT ROCKY HORROR
VIRGIN - In the common world, this usually refers to a person who has not engaged in sexual relations. In the ROCKY HORROR world, this word refers to the many unfortunate people who have never experienced THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW (RHPS) in a theater with an audience and a live cast. Seeing it on home video (Blu-ray, DVD, VHS, Netflix Instant, etc.) or on TV doesn’t count!
Rocky Horror is the first and only true audience partici-(SAY IT!)-pation movie. People yell back lines at the performers during the pauses between dialogue and dress up in costume. The audience participation phenomenon was observed as early as the film’s first run in 1975 (when it bombed during limited engagements in 7 of 8 cities), and was later re-released as a midnight movie where the audience participation really began to flourish. And by the way, for the “gore sensitive”, Rocky Horror is NOT a horror film. It is a rock-musical send-up of old science-fiction and horror films.
Enough history! You are interested in what you really need to know.
First, the only thing you really need to bring your first time out in order to have fun is a sense of humor. Of course, being surrounded by 20 of your friends is also a good thing. But hey, what about the props and audience participation lines and dressing up in costume? Well, no one expects you to know much of anything your first time out. While audience participation is mandatory to keep the show alive, it is not mandatory that everyone participate, every time. Virgins are not expected to know a damn thing (just like in sex.)
Oh, and if you need to know one AP line, there is one that is almost universal to every theater, that you can use multiple times. Whenever you hear the name “Brad Majors”, yell “ASSHOLE”, and when you hear Janet, yell “SLUT!” okay? An important note here: AP is NOT fixed from theater to theater and night to night. If you feel an new line coming on, YELL IT! A big part of keeping the show fresh is creating new lines with topical humor.
Mainly, have fun, lighten up, laugh a lot and enjoy watching some fun performers help you have a little fun tonight! Remember, Don’t Dream It - BE IT! Enjoy the RIDE!
