I saw a stage version of the Rocky Horror Show here in St. Louis recently. There was a "chorus" of people dressed like various characters sitting in the audience, and they greatly increased the comedic value of the play. I believe they were mostly people who frequent the local weekend showing of the movie, and while there responses to the play were intended to look spontaneous, I suspect that they weren't. Nevertheless, they were quite funny. Their interaction with the narrator was particularly good. The play just wouldn't have been the same without them. Actually, the only dissapointment was the "star", Wendy O'Williams as ... oh crap, now I can't remember. Anyways, she played Riff-Raf's female buddy, you, know, the one who he takes over with him towards the end. Anyways, she was pretty much of a dud. For those of you who don't remember, Wendy is the ex-lead singer of the ex-punk band The Plasmatics. She's the one who was arrested for NOT wearing shaving cream on stage in Cleveland. The other players were all local theatre type and were very good. Mark F.
