They are, but they are better in the stage show because of how it all works... the chorus of real singers changes things
I think in the old movie experience, the adrenaline rush carries you from the opening for the first 45 minutes, so the second half of the movie drags. The stage show does a few things better than the movie - the floor show is better. And "I'm Going Home" which Frankie sings before he's killed, is actually a very good song, but by the time we reach it in the movie, it feels like an afterthought. |

West side Story without the songs, you'd still know what was happening. Instead of being mood setting background, the songs in Rocky Horror actually tell part of the story, wouldn't make sense without them. Plus they're fun songs, irresistible to not at least hum along.

The music director gave me a huge compliment, said I've been perfect and I have never played a wrong note in all the rehearsals, making her job very easy.
This is not exactly the case, I know where my wrong notes were... mostly, I hid them using musical trickery. But it makes me very happy. I worked really hard in preparation. It pays off. Opening night in 5 hours! |

The biggest trick the Devil ever played, was convincing everyone he never played a wrong note... until he got to Georgia.
No matter Tony, the costumed consumers will love the show, and the music is half of it, so you guys in the pit get half the accolades. Just duck the flying toast.

Hee hee I might photograph the band, and/or get a selfie with our Frank, but no photography is permitted during the presentation!

And you know what, combining threads, is one of my favorite bits of this?
My old Narcissistic Personality Disorder boss was SOOOO homophobic,... I would have hidden this whole thing from him. Life's too short to work for assholes. |

Dana introduced me to the British hip hop duo Rizzle Kicks.
Our favorite song (meaning the kids and I, Mr. Clod likes his hip-hop less playful and more Busta Rhymes-y) is "Mama Do the Hump." Imagine our surprise this evening to hear that very song playing in a new Google App ad online. Very happy. |

Two shows down, the people loved our Rocky!
Our Frank-n-Furter entrance gets a huge audience reaction. During the break, I talked with Greg, the actor who plays him, and he explained that Desitin is a necessary product to use if you have to wear rubber underwear for hours at a time. |
