Tulip, it's no fun watching it unless you go to a theater where the audience is actively involved and participatory.

I think that some of the parts and songs would have been better cast to different people, because some of the typecasting was a bit goofy. I think John Stamos as Frank N Furter would have been amazing, and though Sue was funny as the criminologist Artie could have done the part, or even Principal Figgins. I also would have enjoyed some gender bending with Santana and Britney as Columbia & Eddie and had Rachel not be Janet because it was, well, trite.
It would have also been fun to have all the other random characters from the show as extra Transylvanians for a giant Time Warp but that wouldn't have worked with making it a private musical. Brad was killer as Riff Raff, and Mercedes could have also been a good Magenta. A Tina Mike pairing for Janet & Brad would have been another twist I'd have liked, or the return of Puck as Rocky or Eddie with a Quinn as Columbia.
The local independent theatre is having Rocky Horror this weekend and it is $10 which includes a kit for involvement, I may go if my friends or classmates want to but have never had the experience.
