Janet? Dr. Scott! Janet? Brad! Rocky!

I'm sure you're all hip to the greatest audience partici-pation movie, The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
So where can a gal like me go to see it down here in the Southern California area? I live in OC but am willing to drive a bit to get my Rocky fix, since it's been over a year since I've seen it in theater.
And would anyone care to go along?

Merci Beaucoup!

Honestly, I don't know where one could possibly catch it anymore. It was almost 3(?) years ago since we all went to the Balboa to catch it. It was like a, pun-intended, time warp for me ... as there were people in the cast who'd been performing when I first checked out the Balboa circa 1979!

Alas, the Balboa stopped showing it last year, and - tho I may be wrong - I think that chapter of pop history has finally closed.

OMG, I was heavily, seriously into Rocky from the time I was 16 in 1976 through my early 20's, 1982 or so. Since then, I've maybe gone a half dozen times. Always a trip.

Our "swanking" to the Balboa was perhaps my last RHPS hurrah, and I will cherish that memory along with the many, many others the Rocky experience has so deliciously provided me with.

Sorry, can't help ya tho.

We saw it last year at the Queen Mary, which I think is where the Long Beach Art Theater cast moved to and turned it into quite a production with opening bands and floorshow.

If you find yourself in Central Florida, it shows every weekend at the Universal Citywalk AMC theater. I haven't gone to a showing in about fifteen years, but I've had private RHPS parties in my home. (And I was Frankie in a stage production of The Rocky Horror Show about eight years ago.)

Geez. I haven't seen that movie in a theater in decades. The last RHS I saw was on stage...
Might be a fun swanking, tho...

mousepod · 01-03-2008, 09:15 AM

oh. it's at the Nuart.

That cast and that theatre have always sucked when I've seen it.

Midnight Insanity is the best cast. Whenever they show a televised "live" Rocky (or have anniversary events), Midnight Insanity is the cast to see.

For many years (like, at least 10) they were at the Art Theatre at 4th and Cherry in Long Beach, but last year moved to the Queen Mary in Long Beach -- there's a theatre at the back end of the ship. Parking is free if you're going to Rocky. Saturday @ Midnight, of course, but I'd get there slightly earlier than that cuz it usually fills up. There's usually some sort of local band that plays first, THEN the pre-show/virgin sacrifice/etc. and then the movie.

http://midnightinsanity.com/ is their website!

We all went last year for Morrigoon's birthday party and had a blast. I called ahead and the cast director put her picture in the program and got her up on stage

They do sell "emergency throw bags" there if you didn't bring anything, but it's always fun to bring an OBSCENE amount of rice, isn't it?

I haven't been in a while (used to see Midnight Insanity starting in high school... I've been somewhere around 60-70 times but lost actual count), and Gemini Cricket would like to go too since he's a VIRGIN (yes, if you've only seen it on video and/or without a live cast, we call that "masturbation"), so let me know when you're going!!!

OMG, yeah, it's been nearly a year... we could swank that!

I'm up for a RHPS swanking!

MmeLytyeer · 01-03-2008, 01:01 PM

ahh thank you all

Fantasmic is going down in the near future for a little while, so it will probably be during that time when I can go. Since it takes up my saturday nights and i need sufficient time to get ready
