1600 people sold out the midnight showing and live performance of The Rocky Horror Picture Show put on by The Velvet Darkness on Oct. 30, at the Fox Theater. Many people dressed up as their favorite Rocky Horror characters such as Riff Raff, and Frank-N-Furter, while others dressed up as various other things. Once the doors opened up people began buying prop bags, which included rice, playing cards, toilet paper and newspaper that were used throughout the show.
Before the show started there was a best costume contest and the “devirginizing” of people who had not seen Rocky Horror live before by having them do stuff on stage such as making noises that certain animals would make while having an orgasm and sucking water out of a baby bottle that was between someone’s legs. Prizes for the winners included dildos, anal beads and other adult items provided by DéjÖ Vu.
Once the show started people started singing along to the songs (“Time Warp” was the biggest hit) and throwing props (such as the toilet paper) when needed, while cast members acted out the scenes. During the show the audience made jokes (such as saying The Criminologist didn’t have a neck) and called Brad Majors and Janet Weiss certain words when their names were said. The audience and cast members seemed to enjoy the entire Rocky Horror experience.
