I was in a shadow cast last year. Just doing the songs. And I had troubles with the quick change for Janet from her undergarments to floor show.

So like what do other shadow casts do it. Especially when doing the whole show? A mini intermission? Please help a girl out. Lol

Hello!

I am going to go to my first shadow cast of RHPS in about a month. I have watched the movie countless times, and am absolutely in love with everything about it. I am a bit nervous though about going to the shadow cast mainly because of the call outs. I know a few of the basic ones (slut, asshole, SAY IT), but not much else. Will I be judged or ridiculed for not knowing the call outs? Should I look them up before hand or learn them as I experience the show? I plan on attending the shadow cast every month as a tradition so should I go in "blind" the first time and from there bring props/yell the callbacks? Thanks!

Was listening to the soundtrack again recently, and I was thinking about how downbeat this story concludes, like a reality check on multiple levels. In his commentary on the original DVD, Richard O’Brien talks about how a production of the Brecht play the Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui had been an influence on his take of the themes visited here at the time of the musical’s composition in the early 1970s. in a nutshell this is Brecht’s 1941 play which is an allegory about the rise of Hitler through corruption and violence, how forces of fascistic control sought to suppress freedom on all levels. Of course the Nazi’s designation of any works of art or literature labeled ‘decadent’ and censored is easily brought to mind in the context of a musical that is at once meant to describe sexual liberation, especially that which would be considered deviant or illicit.
So when in the Reprise we hear “Darkness has conquered Brad and Janet”, not long after the paean to Super Heroes, a bittersweet ode of disillusionment, is O’Brien suggesting that this is what’s in store for those struggling to live in sexual freedom, that the forces of Darkness in the form of societal and political oppression will conquer (for now) those looking to express themselves with abandon, or is it a cautionary tale that “excess” is a trap of decadence that is always doomed to fail? Which seems to me both ironic and fairly downbeat in the context of this musical especially. Lost in time, space, and meaning.

Of the three cast recordings that Tim Curry is in, which is your favorite? Mine is the 1974 Roxy Cast. I love the movie recording and the 1973 London recording, but I think the Roxy one is the best.

I've always wondered about "We could take in an old Steve Reeves movie." The RHPS play premiered in 1973, and the movie in 1975. Steve Reeves starred in Italian peplum movies from 1959 through 1964., 10-15 years before. How are they "old"?

In 2026, it's about the same time period as Chris Evans playing Captain America in Marvel movies (2011-2016). Would you say "We could take in an old Chris Evans movie?"
