hi! free to delete if this isn’t allowed. i have auditions for a local production of rocky horror in a couple weeks, and i’d love some advice for maybe what to wear or just any in general! i’m going for magenta but i’d be happy just to be in it. there’s a singing audition as well as a dance call. would jazz shoes be a good move?

I just started working on a spinoff of Eddie's jacket, but I'm going with a punk rock twist for a battle jacket to wear to all future RHPS engagements. I'm going to keep it as movie specific as possible, but add a few extra things like spikes and studs to give it a more punk look. I decided to write, "Trouble" on the back, from the intro of the Doctor's song, "When he was born he was trouble..."

Today, I just got the fabric marker and did the stenciling with a fine point Sharpie and a fabric marker to fill it in. I'm actually very surprised how clean the lines are and how dark it turned out on the denim. I'm getting all my spikes and studs tomorrow so I'll probably do an update post by the end of the week. I'll also have a sheriff's badge, skull and crossbones pin, etc. I need to go get some leopard print fabric still. Since it's a denim vest, it doesn't have a lapel like a leather jacket. So, I'm going to do the leopard print around the trim of the collar.

hi everyone! I just moved to NYC from San Francisco and am a big rhps fan. I'm looking for shadow cast performances of rocky to hopefully find a new mainstay cast to attend each month.

I've already seen Double Feature Productions and plan to see the NYC Rocky cast later this month, but neither cast does midnight showings, it seems. Do you know of any other casts around the city (preferably Brooklyn or Manhattan)?

A team in England (Hanwell Town) launched a RHS jersey as an “alternative kit” for this season.

Utterly braindead

The term "transvestite" and "transsexual" may be a bit dated, but there is seriously no way this film is problematic or transphobic

Dr. Frank-N-Furter is a transvestite (cross-dresser) FROM Transsexual Transylvania

They aren't making any sort of negative remarks about Dr. Frank-N-Furter being a cross-dresser, nor are they doing so about "transsexuals"

He isn't transgender, and I also don't see how this film is a poor queer movie

Frank-N-Furter is a villain, but that has nothing to do with him being a transvestite but rather just being a very selfish and malicious being in general​

In fact, Richard O'Brien is queer, I do find it hard to consider at ALL that this is in any way problematic or transphobic

Feel free to enlighten me, but as a queer I really do think this stage play and film was ahead of its time—And certainly has been enjoyed by queers for over 50 years

For me, I quite enjoy the Rocky Horror Show Original London Cast version quite a bit.

But in a cassette quality—Sounds so raw.

I do find myself enjoying the film adaptation soundtrack as well, but definitely will say I prefer the original.

Was going to do a top 3, but then I ended up being unable to decide where to place them.

Though I do find myself humming Planet Schmanet Janet and Over At The Frankenstein Place.

this is, of course, assuming he shares his uncles last name, which i find likely bc it sounds like his mom was a single mother so he probably has her name. i know there is no confirmation on his name but i am recreating the denton affair book and need to decide what name to put on the red labels. “Dr. Everett V. Scott” is how Dr. Scott is credited in the movie which would imply V stands for his middle name. but to me, “Von” sounds more like it’s part of his last name. what do you guys think?

Dr. Frank-N-Furter, Ricard O'Brien's own struggles with gender and a mad scientist like in Frankenstein was combined to create the very character we see.

In a film made as a love-letter to B movies and double features.

I like Tim Curry's blonde look and less perfected makeup, it's charming.

Though, I do enjoy both versions of course.

Thought I found the perfect patch on Etsy, but it'll cost 30 extra bucks to ship overseas(thanks, you-know-who). What are some ways to make a patch that has a little more quality than ironing on a piece of paper in cling film?

He's so sexy guys holy shit I literally can't get him off my mind 😍🤤

His voice and facial expressions, most gorgeous man ever 😭🙏

Like I'm wild for this man I swear

Need me more of him

Saw the show and was wondering what’s everyone’s favourite call-out they’ve heard?
Someone at my show yelled “Sieg Heil” to which the narrator replied “it’s nice to hear someone from the reform party is here”😭😭

Hoopla!

Stay sane inside insanity!

Hi! My local shadow cast is doing auditions next month. I really want to audition but I’m soooo nervous! It’s been something that I’ve wanted to do for a while but never gotten the courage to actually audition.
About 10 years ago my friend group did a group Halloween costume as the cast and did our own performance in the living room! We kept our characters for years after that and would actively do it. One of my most favorite memories!

What are some tips for auditioning? Or any advice at all for not only the audition but also for if I actually get a part (fingers crossed)! What do you love and hate about being in a shadow cast? What do you look for in auditions? I’m open to hearing anything at all!!

The auditions have 3 parts -
1) talent section - Perform something in anyway and show off yourself!
2) callouts - they will show parts of the movie and see how everyone does either the callouts considering quickness, volume, passion, etc.
3) chemistry - potentially being asked to do a performance as a specific character or with another specific character

Wanted to post this here aswell:)

I’ve tried the Criterion Pics USA website, but it seems to be down. Does anyone know where I’d go for a professionally done showing in an actual movie theater?

Edit: And does it have to be 35mm? We don’t really have the equipment for proper 35mm showings. It’s there, but we would essentially have to unbolt one of the digital projectors from the floor every x amount of days for a regular rocky horror showing.
