We went out to Rocky Horror Picture Show at the State Theatre last night. It was quite a fun time. It had been many years since we'd been. For about six months, back in the dark ages, I went to the midnight show every Friday night with a rotating group of lunatics and sexual wound up teenagers. I learned all the lines back then. Much to my surprise, I have retained many of them, despite the vodka, and was able to deliver quite a few at the appropriate time last night. The crowd was great: a mixture of people who hadn't seen the show in years and teens and twenties who'd probably never gotten to see it properly before. A good percentage of the audience dressed and everyone seemed to be there to just have a fun time. It was a great time! I'll have the songs as well as the call and response running through my head for the next three days. The burlesque troupe who did the opening bit didn't try to hard to stay on script with the original, but did their own thing as a warmup. I like how they mashed it up generally and they were all quite lovely to watch in their own right.

In front of us was a middle aged woman and her teenage son. He spent much of the evening doubled over laughing at my lines. When the show was over she turned around and said she was glad they sat near us because she had forgotten so many of the lines. I was glad I could provide them some additional entertainment.
