Don't dream it, be it.
Shiver with antici . . . pation
I have a confession.
Prior to this year I had never actually watched the Rocky Horror Show.
But after a sold-out ten show run, I'm a fan. Even if I still don't fully get the story line! Tim Curry's deranged and sexually charged romp may not be socially acceptable in today's age but it still has legions of fans who love the campy sexual exploits of Frank-N-Furter and his quest to build the perfect man for . . .
And the music! It's just pure fun. Super glad I agreed to do this bucket list show and a full double feature show on Halloween night no less.
Kudos to all involved on a spectacular run.

As their innocence is lost, Brad and Janet meet a houseful of wild characters, including a rocking biker and a creepy butler. Through elaborate dances and rock songs, Frank-N-Furter unveils his latest creation: a muscular man named “Rocky.”

Had a plethora of riches when it came to casting after a full complement of talent came out to auditions. Ended up with a good mix of new and old faces - all of whom seemed to be super fans of the musical - which made it very easy to run through the rehearsal schedule with ease.
Music is pretty basic and allows for lots of interpretation and I was fortunate to include many musicians more talented than I in the band and that made the job pretty easy when it came to show nights. Even after having just three sessions before tech week!
