    I don't think this sort of sexist request is appropriate here.




   What's wrong with us boy's fish-net stockings??         :-)

    When are the photos going to be available?   Rocky parties are always
    good for a bit of blackmail!

68.3"Rocky Horror fans destory Basingstoke cinema"CHEST::BATEMANFast, flash ... and funny!Fri Dec 02 1988 09:0122
    
    
    Has the flicks in Basingstoke ever show the film as a late nite
    feature ?
    
    I have seen the show many, many times over the last few years, but
    had only seen the movie (apart from on the TV) once. That was at
    the Baker Street flicks in London, where it showed for many years.
    
    The night I went the place was empty, with no audience participation
    at all. Therefore, what a surprise on attending my first Rocky show
    to find the ad-libs, water pistols, rice throwing, Time-warp etc..
    
    Two weeks ago I noticed the Rocky Horror film on as a late-nite
    at the Maybox flicks in Slough. Although not packed, the audience
    were just as wild as at the shows. 
    
    I have heard that the Maybox has the film regularily, but wondered
    if ever happened locally ?
    
    Chris.
    
68.4Don't dream it - see it !CHEST::BATEMANFast, flash ... and funny!Fri Dec 02 1988 09:059
    
    
    Or are there enough cultists out there for us to organize a private
    late night showing (will probably cost money but loads of people
    would come) ?
    
    Any comments ?  
    
    Chris.
68.5Like THIS!KERNEL::ROEbend ze knees!Fri Dec 02 1988 11:387
    When the show was on tour, we went suitably attired to both Chichester
    and to Winchester - 99% full dress turnout by the audience.
    
    You should have seen the faces of the previously unsuspecting 1%
    though!
    
    :-)
68.6It's a jump to the left...IMNAUT::HIRDHave we got a video?Tue Dec 06 1988 19:228
    
    "Let's do the time warp agaaaaain"
    
    I saw it in Boston (Mass, US of A), sometime I'll rent the video
    and actually watch the film :-)
    
    Other Tim Curry work is pretty good too!
    
68.7Don't rent the VideoLOOKIN::WEGGI've brought you a hard boiled egg & some nuts.Wed Dec 07 1988 09:203
    
    The film is on Channel Four on December 19th.
    
68.8missed again...IMNAUT::HIRDHave we got a video?Thu Dec 08 1988 19:488
    
    
    Thanks for the thought, but unfortunately I don't get to see channel
    four much since I moved to the states :-) Same thing happened when
    I saw RHPS in Boston, my Dad said the day after I left for vacation
    in the states they put it on TV!
    
    
68.9RIP Rocky Horror Picture Show ?????WIZZER::LOATSteve Loat C.S.C. UK. 7833 3656Mon Dec 19 1988 11:5030
Any Rocky fans out there know if there are plans to put Rocky on in the West
End?????

Richard O'Brian stopped the travelling production so he could retain the rights
and put it on in a theatre in the West End. How does he expect people from all
over the country to see it now!!!! The travelling performance will be sorely
missed by a lot of people who will no longer be able to see this magnificant
piece of horror/comedy/sex theatre. 

I was at the second to last performance at the Theatre Royal, Hanley, and it
was unbelievable!! The atmosphere was electric, and the cast were out to outdo
each other at every possible moment. Imagine Frank and Brads' reaction when the
screen came up to reveal all in the middle of THAT scene!!! Frank met his
horrific end when Riff-Raff shot him with a banana, substituted for the
laser!!!

Anybody brave enough to try to organise a screening of Rocky in or near to
Basingstoke???  

I'll give all the help I can to such a venture (although I'm not sure how much
help that would be!!). 

Come on Noters/Rocky-lovers, start the ball rolling with any ideas etc, and we
may all be doing The Time Warp before you know it!!!!!

Steve.

PS. Anyone at the TSC coming in Rocky gear on Friday????
