    Wow I FINALLY understand and GET Rocky Horror now, I never got it before because it doesn't work that well as a film. Its so theatrical and needs to be experienced such. LOVE

    I was never much a fan of Rocky Horror after seeing the film many moons ago when even then it looked dating and I found it quite boring. Howeve, I recognised that there were some good tunes in there that I played for a while on CD. I am very grateful to have seen this because it has allowed me to reappraise Rocky Horror and to GET it finally after so many years. Basically it just doesn't work that well as a film, it is so very theatrical and needs that energy and medium to work. Seen here live on stage, the rawkusness and the excitement and the energy of FUN really shines through and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The story is bonkers, but the point is it is about letting go of rigid ideas around sexuality and identity and decorum and its just about having fun and accepting each other and letting your hair down. For that I totally get Rocky Horror now and understand why its fan base love it so. David Bedella is just brilliant. Must watch.

    I was very uncertain

    as I was in the generation that saw the film in Toronto 200-300 times at the Roxy theater and never heard a word of it as we the audience began our responses as soon as the opening credits rolled. What an amazing time !. However with the limitations of the stage I don't think Richard O'Brien would have done this unless it was very high quality. And it is. But always try to see the Rocky Horror film in a crowded theater . I give it 10 sweet transvestites. The music is great. the story remains intact from the film. they allow audience participation. the guest stars are hilarious. Hats off ! As well as whatever else you might be wearing. The actors and vocalists are first class. on the web there is an old interview with Tim Curry explaining the genesis of Rocky Horror as Curry had a play in the downstairs of a London theater and O'Brien , who had this concept was playing upstairs in another play and one night the two got to talking about it. Thank You jeff in Toronto.

    Brilliant!!

    I have been a massive fan of the The Rocky Horror all my life and this absolutely did it justice! Brilliant casting. Well worth a watch.

    Wonderful

    I had only seen one other stage production of The Rocky Horror Show, and that was on Broadway in 2001. I didn't think any production could top that one, but this one did so exponentially. David Bedella is excellent as Frank. It's such an iconic role that holds such high expectations, and David's performance exceeds those expectations. The celebrity narrators really add to the feel that you're watching a special event rather than any typical performance of the show. I make sure to watch this every October along with my other favorite Halloween classics.

    • Trivia
      Kristian Lavercombe's first Rocky Horror Show experience was at New Zealand's Nelson Musical Theatre in 1998, playing Dr. Frank-N-Furter, and he later took over the role of Riff Raff for tours in Asia and Australia. At the time of this taping, Lavercombe had portrayed Riff Raff in over 900 performances, and by the end of the UK tour in 2017, he will have played the character more times than any other actor in history.

      Stephen Fry: I would like, if I may...

      Audience: You may!

      Stephen Fry: ...to take you...

      Man in audience: Take me!

      Stephen Fry: Perhaps later... on a strange journey.

      Audience: How strange?

      Stephen Fry: You'd be surprised.

    • Alternate versions
      For the one-time European live theatrical screening, Mel Giedroyc hosted and mingled with the crowd before the show, Adrian Edmondson interviewed Richard O'Brien, Ana Matronic filmed a plug for Amnesty International, and Giedroyc interviewed Emma Bunton during intermission. All of this footage was omitted from the broadcast on BBC America, except for the interview with Bunton.
