Let’s do the “Time Warp” again! Chad Oliverson returns as the maniacal Dr. Frank ‘N’ Furter in the American Theatre Company production of Richard O’Brien’s The Rocky Horror Show.
Two unsuspecting high school sweethearts stumble upon the wacky experiments of Dr. Frank ‘N’ Furter’s lab when they seek refuge in the mad scientist’s castle. Soon after their arrival, the lovers discover the Frankenstein-esque body of Rocky Horror, Dr. Frank ‘N’ Furter’s new sexual plaything. Sexual frolicking runs rampant throughout the musical, ending with a sci-fi twist complete with aliens and space travel.
The Rocky Horror Show continues to be a revival favorite, with new productions and tours appearing regularly worldwide. Fans dress up as the characters, shout “call-backs” at the stage, and use props at appropriate moments, such as water pistols and newspapers during a scene in the rain and throwing toast when Frank calls for “a toast.”
During performances the audience has been encouraged to join in with the performance. Items most commonly taken are:
* Party Poppers, Hat, Blower. used during the dinner scene / happy birthday scene in the play.
* Water pistols- used to help simulate the storm which Brad and Janet are caught in.
* Flashlights- used to light up the room during the “there’s a light” verse of “Over at the Frankenstein Place.”
* Confetti- thrown on stage at the end of the Charles Atlas Song reprise.
In recent years, this has been discouraged by theatres due to the safety implications of debris and water on the stage
Recommended for mature audiences.
