Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

It is more enjoyable when the Princess acompanying you assures you that she knows the story, but then is shocked, shcked I tell you, when the performance really starts. Those without water pistols flung beer.
I've never liked the film, but the stage show is a laugh.
The site doesn't say who the cast is, though. That does make a difference as I've seen it with both well known, genuinely good cast members AND a bunch of no-marks. The good cast won.
I don't get the audience dressing up, but if they want to, then they must.

A good choice Francis , so is the newspaper

Bloody Oi â„¢
i believe i've been to see the Rocky Horror live stage show in the Playhouse...must have been a while back now cos i was married at the time and living down Meadowbank...
fcuk that was a good night out
Hehe now we are three. I too was there, two nights at the Playhouse in ooh must have been 92 or 93. I've still got the programme, I'll check. First night I thought 'what the fcuk is going on here then?', had a ball and went back the next night, complete with battery operated water pistol with a range of 60ft, great for taking out the wanker Playhouse bouncers from a distance
Surrounded by women in lingerie, what's not to like? I worry about you sometimes Blast
I've never seen it on stage but having seen it about 10 times by the time I went to university, I got well and truly bored of it - and of the bloody students who had just discovered it (along with Spag Bols and other dreaded student cliches). I do quite like it these days but I've never felt the urge to participate in the proceedings. I first saw it in 1980 when I visited my older sister in Germany. She was to blame for getting me and my other sister hooked so she had to take us all the way to Cologne to see it - it was Cert. X in the UK and I was only 11 at the time.
Incidentally, I believe the original ideas for costumes for the show were thanks to Paddy's Market in Glasgow. I can't remember the exact story but I read it in an interview with Richard O'Brien a few years ago. I think he'd been involved in something showing at the Citizen's Theatre here when he wrote the Rocky Horror, and he and/or whoever else was involved went round Paddy's Market looking for cheap but outrageous costumes. They evidently found them...

Aye. What exactly is it you don't like about it James?

To get all high-brow about the production quality of what was essentially a shot in the dark success, is like writing off the Sisters cos Adrenochrome is a bit too Jimmy Pursey.
And if it's cos it's been 'hijacked' by those who'll use any excuse to dress up in dodgy outfits, then the Sisters come to mind again.
And I saw it at Hyde Park Picture House in 1983, so I win again.
And you know that she's half crazy but that's why you want to be there.
