GUYS! Since that great night last January, I swore that if I get the chance to be a part of a shadowcast, I would. And that manifestation came sooner than expected as suddenly there was a casting call for an upcoming shadowcast near my city. We premiered this halloween and man, it was January times a hundred.

I got to work with some amazing, kind and talented people that I learnt so much from. And the audience, despite this being our very first show, did not disappoint. Yelling asshole in unison, throwing all the toilet paper. And to just look out at all the phones' flashlights as we were singing There's a Light. I wish I could've stayed in that moment forever(even though that song is the worst on my list(fight me)). And because of this audience's support, once again I felt zero stage fright. I fking love this community!

Thanks to the people who commented on my previous post. You probably won't read this, but it's also because of your kind words that I dared to sign up for this.

And PLEASE. If you're considering being part of a shadow cast, fking do it. You will not regret it one bit. Don't let any fear stop you from the experience of a lifetime. Don't dream it, be it, I guess😅

(Didn't find a full video of the dance, but at least I got the leg part!!!)

At my casts show on Halloween, I was playing Dr. Frank n Furter and as I was killing Eddie, my Heels I finished 10+ hours of rhinestoning the day before, broke, SIMILTANIOUSLY!

I did a show in them the day before and only thing that happened was that a strap came off but I just re-glued it.

I think this is heartbreak more than a heel break 💔

Aparte de la versión para televisión ya conocida “Noche de Terrock y Brujas” alguien sabe si existe (y si podría conseguir) algún video de la obra?. Según un amigo había una grabación pero no la he encontrado ni rastro de que exista. De casualidad alguien sabe algo?

So in the town I live in, they do a live production of RHS every year around Halloween time, and my wife and I have been going every year for the past decade or so, and obviously we have a good time. Unfortunately, this year wasn’t very good. For whatever reason, the production decided to do an all female cast. Literally everyone from Brad, dr frank, Rocky,etc, were all played by women, and before you make accusations of sexism, that’s not the issue. The issue is that RHS is about diversity of all kinds of people of different genders and ethnicities, and to be honest, dr frank does need to be played by a man(it’s literally the role) and it just didn’t work very well, even to the point where you heard people in their seats during the intermission making negative comments about the change. If the whole point is diversity but you resort to limiting your cast, the production suffers. It’d be the same if it were an all male cast, or an all white cast or an all black cast. If the point is diversity, making the cast all the same feels lazy and uninteresting, and I wasn’t the only one who thought that. Bottom line, RHS needs diversity, that’s the entire point.

And one of a few I purchased from the excellent pixelken this past weekend.

My first attempt for Riff Raff, on shadowcast in Nuremberg, GER.

Hi, I know a lot of colleges have their own shadow-cast, mine does not so I’ve been looking into starting one for it. Has anyone here started a college shadow-cast before?
Location and cast wouldn’t be an issue, so what are the other things to look into for a shadow-cast?
If we wanted to do a showing monthly or bi-weekly how does the license for that work? Is that what college ones do?
Thank you for your time!

Silly but practical souvenir …..

The Boston cast has merch and one of the things there (free giveaways) was RHPS-condoms 😂 with their QR on the other side.

What a thoughtful gift, amirite? 😏

EDIT — not yet tested, so no comment on their quality other than as a goof (or if they fit;)

I know it’s well past Halloween, but I wanted to hop on the bandwagon of people posting their RHPS costumes. I hope to perfect this costume and makeup by next year, or at least build on it. This was my first time putting effort into a costume as well as applying a full face of makeup, so I tried to cut myself some slack. I managed to win a costume contest so I must have been doing something right! Until next year 💋🖤

I’ve got a few in mind, not all of which I’ll use but will put out there for others:

With the coffin ⚰️ 🕰️, saying

“Presenting: the GOP!!”

For Janet saying “……couldn’t win—“

“Like the Republican Party!”

And I had another earlier which wasn’t as good, but I’m curious if anyone else will notice political jokes this weekend.

I’ve posted about this issue before (RHPS and politix) but I’m especially curious for our screening this weekend in Boston.

Do folks have specific political callbacks for local issues or specific candidates that get hollered out?

Oh!

And “isn’t it true that he works for your government?”

“NOBODY works for our government!”

🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓

Oh and THIS is priceless — when the wig comes off (& Frank is with Janet) but he’s still wearing the glasses, there is an INSTANT where he looks just like Bernie Sanders in profile 😂

So at a few Boston screenings I have heard him invoked at that moment.

I’m Frank at the immersive RHPS at Wisteria Theater! Our October run was a blast and we’ve extended!!
TONIGHT 11/6 at 8pm
And SATURDAY 11/14 at 8pm

Part live, part shadow, entirely titillating 👀

Hey so does anyone has a slime tutorial of the Rocky Horror Show with George Salazar and Jake Shears???

If I’m getting a deck of cards literally with the intention of throwing them away 😂, I might as well mark them up in ways that will be entertaining for anyone tasked with cleaning up after the show

So I used a green sharpie to put “RHPS” on each card, and now am adding some acrylic flourishes for fun. Just adding a little pizzazz of my own to the event — the prop bags mix bicycle cards with Magic the Gathering ones, but it’s just like 3-4 cards in each bag

More fun if we each have a dozen more, for our little party 🥳

Passing the idea along in case others want to try this too :)

Our second show in Oct.

Hanging out with some of our audience as the crowd comes in before the show.

I’m considering trying to add something to this weekend’s show that refers to the Blue Wave 🌊 but idk if it would disrupt the mood.

Just a simple one, when it cuts to all the empty seats:

“Meanwhile, at Republican HQ…”

Idk if it’s too political (that is, current politics) for RHPS, but am curious what others think of this issue.
