Why is MTV remaking The Rocky Horror Picture Show?

If that was your experience, I think you need to find a different theater.

Rocky plays every week literally one block from where I live. However, I am not a part of that cast. Instead, I drive 25 minutes down to San Pedro to be in a better cast, in a better theater, with better audiences.

Well, I did say "can be," so, luckily, not every experience has been this way. (Otherwise, I would never have clocked over a hundred shows.) Alas, there is only one theater in O-town that shows RHPS, and it definitely has a vibe that doesn't include a middle-aged geek like me. On the other hand, about 8 years ago, I did have a nice run in a community theater production of the show (as Frankie), which was a total blast, and for which we all probably should have been arrested.
