I am no longer a 'Rocky Horror Virgin'!
The acclaimed musical graced our shores as part of their Australasian Tour and I count myself lucky to be able to watch it!
I won't be questioning anyone's intelligence with the synopsis of the musical but just know that it is a totally out of this world conceptual plot. Sure you've heard some stuff about the show and you know that it's kinda about Brad & Janet but you will seriously be WOW'd by the whole performance. The cast have amazing voices (and BODIES!) and even though Hossan Leong seemed a little out of place being the narrator, it was an enjoyable show through and through.
One of the highlights of the whole show was us getting a free upgrade of SEATS! We paid for Cat 3 seats in Circle 2 of the Esplanade Theater (pretty good seats!!), but because there were so little people watching the matinee show, they upgraded everyone's seats! We sat in the Foyer Stalls! Amazing seats, we were so amazingly close to the cast (OK, maybe not as close as the front row people but CLOSE ENOUGH to be able to see everything!!). Now I feel as though I should fork out the extra dosh whenever watching a play to be able to have such amazing seats!
And because I seem to be the Queen of Trivial Facts around these parts, here's one for all of you! The motion picture was screened Singas in 2003 but was heavily edited! And that too was after the 30 year ban on the show for it's raunchy themes and costumes! And apparently the musical was in town in 1993 (only 20 years after its debut in London's West End!) but that too was heavily edited!!
Now all I can think about is getting a soundtrack to the musical, getting my hands on a copy of The Rocky Horror Picture Show DVD (if there even is ONE!) and singing along to 'Let's Do The Time Warp Again!'.
Hopefully everyone gets to go out and watch it before it leaves our shores next weekend!
Peace lovelies!
Til the next post!
