Considering the restoration committee spent million$ to renovate the Warner Grand, it is unlikely that the no throwing stuff policy will change in the foreseeable future.

If Gemini Cricket is up for it, I'm in.

I don't post here a lot but I always check in to get a heads up on cool things going on in our area and this event really interested me. I have been a HUGE RHPS fan since I saw the movie at an 8th grade slumber party in 1992. I probably have the entire movie memorized but I have never seen it live or done the whole theater thing. Most of my friends think I am a freak for loving this so much so there has never really been anyone to go with. I would love to go if people from here were going and willing to show me the ropes a bit.

I'm one who feels the Rocky experience has declined drastically, tho some say it's merely changed.


While it's been a source of tremendous fun ... I found the "innovation" of dress-alike casts who act out the movie to be something that was ultimately a detriment to the group experience.

Throwing props is a great, egalitarian part of that group experience. I hate to think that's been lost.

But that best part, imo, were the clever and evolving lines shouted by the audience, sometimes in unison and sometimes by a lone innovator. To be copied, if successful, or relegated to the scrap heap if not.

Alas, this also devolved into a detriment, where there was not 2 consecutive seconds of screen sound before the audience would be yelling someething or other.

IMO, Rocky Horror lost its cleverness when there had to be an audience line for every breath taken on screen. And, though it's been a source of fantastic fun ... in the long run, the advent of cast performances that took attention away from the film and put it on a smattering of particular performers detracted a bit from the grand group experience - again purely in my opinion.


Eh, whatever, the evolving is just that. It's all been fun of one stripe or another.

So, um, I guess I'm willing to go to a show where you can't throw rice or toast or toilet paper or cards. My intitial reaction is WTF?

But, yeah, what that hell? Let's go some nite.

I'm willing to not throw rice to see SM perform!
