People in these comments can't seem to grasp it's a long running stage musical and it updates and choreography changes, bits have been added and/or taken away and some bits weren't included in the movie but have always been in the musical. It's not a remake of the movie.
I took my girlfriend to see this last night at Wimbledon... i was dressed as 'some guy called Eddie' at her request and she dressed as Magenta. I had no idea what i was in for but i can honestly say, one of the most fun experiences i've had. Brilliant time, lots of costumes, memorable songs and everyone went WILD as Frank came out. I didn't really know what Rocky Horror was about until last night, didn't know the characters or songs or anything but i'm a total convert now. It's silly, it's naughty, it's VERY funny and i can't wait to see it again. Thank you so much.
I imagine the folks hating on this are only familiar with the movie, not the original stage show it was based on. My theatre troupe does the rhs every year (it funds the rest of our season) and this is one of my favorite iterations of the show
It is amazing how time passes isnt it. This comment was posted 6 years ago. After 6 years, I am the only person to comment. The way I think about, me posting this would bring this whole comment to the present. This comment will represent the end of a long and extensive period of time. I feel as if I'm the hero, finally stopping the curse of the time passed. Now you shall be present and current dear comment. I remember 6 years ago the simpler days, everything was perfect. I had everything I wanted. Man, do I wish I could go back to those glory days. I really want to do the time warp.
The glee version is too "pretty". Rocky Horror has to be derranged, and mainly, has to be fun for the actors. You can really tell that this cast is having so much fun in the stage
It's astounding Time is fleeting Madness takes its toll But listen closely Not for very much longer I've got to keep control I remember doing the Time Warp Drinking those moments when The blackness would hit me And the void would be calling Let's do the Time Warp again Let's do the Time Warp again It's just a jump to the left And then a step to the right Put your hands on your hips You bring your knees in tight But it's the pelvic thrust That really drives you insane Let's do the Time Warp again Let's do the Time Warp again It's so dreamy Oh fantasy, free me So you can't see me No, not at all In another dimension With voyeuristic intention Well secluded, I see all With a bit of a mind flip You're into the time slip And nothing can ever be the same You're spaced out on sensation.

I thought this version was quite good. It is not meant to copy the actors who previously played the characters back in 1975....... it is a stage production nearly 40 years later......They had some great voices there.
The new riff raff from what I know is better for this but he did play frankfurter originally Honestly this would not be bad for another character and not that I'm against breaking script because that's what Rocky Horror is kind of about but it's not what I'd ever imagine riff raff would be like since it is so alike but so different I do believe when you can't match the script don't try to it would be better with a riff raff rendition
I think that it would be really difficult to be as good as the originals and obviously I agree that this Riff Raff doesn't looks like the original, but I still appreciatte the effort. So I liked it too.
I have an opinion on this whole video that I have to tell the puplic now. 1. The "original" sound which run up and down back in the time in our radio is stuck in my head so I cannot listen to this without saying I hate it. But 2. I love the look of the cast and their expression 3. I love the dance 4. I have watched the musical on video and now I wanna see it live. I hope this or next year will happen something
Here's the thing....the original has a B MOVIE feel too it....EXACTLY as it's supposed to...the later productions are WAY to "professional" all these people, with GIGANTIC voices blowing out windows and the roof off just Totally overwhelm the play AND don't fit in with it AT ALL....they're Screaming right over the Scene itself and right over the Characters. There's these trained singing instructors who have put out vids on youtube....and they're saying, rather snarkily, "you know, nobody in Rocky Horror was a Trained singer"....GOOD!!!! For instance, Susan Sarandon....not the strongest voice But GOOD, her voice was, like her character, vulnerable, naive, innocent. But these later singers just do NOT get that across with their on steroids vocals. Same EXACT thing with Barry Bostwick. And Richard O'brien ....his voice, as part of the character, conveyed creepiness, maliciousness etc....but the guys doing that character Now, just belt it out, with no character or regard for the scene At All. I saw one guy do Riff Raff's song from the tower window and, at the end, he just tacks on some random note that he bellows out for no reason other than demonstrating "Look what I can do"....what director lets that go on?? it's nuts! and TOTALLY distracts from the song, the mood, the character etc
those two are the ones who have been doing this play the longest! I like them, too. I LOVED the version when David Bedella, starring as Dr Frank, was in bed with Brad. They made it hilarious! check it out even you can. (it's on RUclips.)
Riff Raf improved so much over time, the full version in 2015 is outstanding and camera work was brilliant on it and David Bedella was absolutely amazing......
I LOVE this version! It all started off that Richard O'Brien was an actor that had extra time on his hands, so he whittled away some of that time by coming up with some musical scores. he showed his play to his director (I think it was? ), who helped him with the finishing touches. from there, they got some amateur actors and put on the play at a place known for amateurs experimenting with their ideas. it became such a hit , however , that they ended up taking it on tour. later they decided to try to turn it into a movie , and the guy who normally played Doctor Frank went on to star as Dr Frank in the movie as well. all of these were basically unknowns until this movie set them on the map. what many people may not know is that no one wanted to actually put out the movie once it was made so it stayed sitting in someone's drawer for a couple of years. in fact the movie probably would not have become so popular had it not been for a couple of wise cracks in a New York movie theater. the rest is history! this play has been produced for 40 years now. that's why I get upset when I hear people who don't understand the concept.
Some years ago the university in my city put on this show. I liked how they didn't try to copy the outfits from the movie. Frank n furter had pink and lavendar pastels, not black. But the best part of attending was having to cross through a picket line of the Phelps family from the Westboro Baptist Church. This is in Topeka and that's where I'm from. They were yelling at us as we went into the theater. At the one private home across the street the owner turned on his lawn sprinklet so it would get on them but the cops made him turn it off.
Excuse me that is *not* Kristian Lavercombe as Riff *EDIT: ok i have learned that that is Kristian and holy shit thank god he's changed over the course of this to how he plays Riff Raff now
He’s been playing Riff Raff for along time now. I went to see it in stoke with this cast and it was amazing. All the die hard fans who follow it around the country were there too and they loved it.
Yes it is. Kristian has played Riff Raff all over the world and holds the Guiness Book of records title for playing it the most times of anyone anywhere!! He is phenomenal. He has also understudied & played Frank, & has also played the Narrator.
Elizabeth Midlford this performance, to me, was really good overall, and nobody should compare it to the original. Since there isn’t really an ‘original’, every show has its own uniqueness to it.
They're not supposed to be seduced till later in the story. That's the whole point - the contrast and conflict of their innocence vs. all the depraved ones around them. Once that difference is lost, it's not as fun to watch.
I felt that some of their portrayals of the characters were pretty good (Brad was great, and so was Oliver Thorton who played Frank) but some I didn't exactly like (the Coloumbia in this one is too unenthusiastic and un hyper)
I'm so glad kristian changed his way to perform RiffRaff afterwards.The video kinda disappointed me since I love him so much in the 2015 live screening. He's surly getting better and better. literally my favourite RiffRaff.Only when this video is destroied forever can his perfect image in my mind remains intact. and HE LOOKS STUNNING IN THOSE COSTUME!!!
I'm pretty sure it's directed by the creator, director and original Riff Raff (Richard O'brien). Plus with it being a stage show it needs that extra impact to modernise the roles and allow every members of the audience to feel the energy that's onstage :)
Luke Randall Well, I will agree with that. I personally think nothing will compare to the original Rocky Horror Show,but again, that is my opinion. However, I do think that what you said is valid. :)
That's the magic on this musical there is no "original one" since every version has its difference. Look at, for example, "Science Fiction/Double Feature" on 1973 and then the one on the movie.

@TEAGUE MORRIS no it was made for the original stage show
Your comment is criminally underrated, your the only person that gives me hope for this fanbase
@@b.d6642 It was definitely in the 1973 stage play, but was later in the play originally. Maybe that confuses some?
Honestly now the comments have mellowed out, most are like hey this is cool
I personally rather like the choreography
Big voices in this cast. I love it! Whoever is playing sax in this is killing it!

I love the guy who tells you how to do the time warp dance. Like you just cant ruin him.
Why is everyone hating on this???? I thought they did great!!
same omg

Seen them twice now, can't get over Officer Craddock from Heartbeat playing the narrator!
They were excellent
Better than the movie actually.
we always say it is a 'PG' - a few rude bits but nothing too shocking! under 10's not really welcome I'd say

Everyone is saying it’s awful I actually like it
I love it

I lovvvvveeeee it
I went to see it in stoke with this cast and it was brilliant. The audience loved it.
Same I saw it live last night new cast but omg it was soook good this is difernt to what I saw i think but its still amazing
I can’t stop thinking of Glee performance
Abel Cruz same
Glee did it better but you can’t beat the real thing I love Tim curry
The glee version is too "pretty". Rocky Horror has to be derranged, and mainly, has to be fun for the actors. You can really tell that this cast is having so much fun in the stage
theyre good but glee win this one so hard
I'm sorry to hear that, hope you forget it soon
That Magenta has a KILLER voice
Absolutely brilliant. 💯 went to see at the theatre in June. They were all outstanding
2:29 Columbia doing tap dance solo with time warp. That was Incredible.
Especially with no taps on her shoes!! lol
@@KatMusic2009 I know.
Nobody will ever top Patricia Quinn as Magenta
DAMN YES
It's astounding
Time is fleeting
Madness takes its toll
But listen closely
Not for very much longer
I've got to keep control
I remember doing the Time Warp
Drinking those moments when
The blackness would hit me
And the void would be calling
Let's do the Time Warp again
Let's do the Time Warp again
It's just a jump to the left
And then a step to the right
Put your hands on your hips
You bring your knees in tight
But it's the pelvic thrust
That really drives you insane
Let's do the Time Warp again
Let's do the Time Warp again
It's so dreamy
Oh fantasy, free me
So you can't see me
No, not at all
In another dimension
With voyeuristic intention
Well secluded, I see all
With a bit of a mind flip
You're into the time slip
And nothing can ever be the same
You're spaced out on sensation.
Like you're under sedation
Let's do the Time Warp again
Let's do the Time Warp again
Well I was walking down the street
Just a-having a think
When a snake of a guy
Gave me an evil wink
He shook-a me up
He took me by surprise
He had a pickup truck
And the devil's eyes
He stared at me and I felt a change
Time meant nothing, never would again
Let's do the Time Warp again
Let's do the Time Warp again
It's just a jump to the left
And then a step to the right
Put your hands on your hips
You bring your knees in tight
But it's the pelvic thrust
That really drives you insane
Let's do the Time Warp again
Let's do the Time Warp again
[Bridge]
Let's do the Time Warp again
Let's do the Time Warp again
It's just a jump to the left
And then a step to the right

That really drives you insane

Hate the gangnam style bit at the end
yeah that part wasn't needed in any way
@frank grimes You're right, there is simply no better way to describe it.
@frank grimes correct me if I'm wrong but isn't rocky about cheesy pop culture in itself?
Rhd has a point
I thought it was funny, get over yourself you pretentious twat
One of the GREATEST shows of ALL TIME.
WOW - I love to see this cast do this show.
THIS IS SO GOOD LIVE THO
I remember my primary school musical teacher played this in assembly
The youngest kids in there were 4 and the oldest were 12
4 YEARS OLD
WHY DID THEY DO THE GANGMAN STYLE DANCE OMG MY WHOLE GOT A CRAMP FROM THE CRINGE
I cried laughing at this hahahahahaha
Let's be nice, this was 2013. It was acceptable behavior.
Jay Cann I
I cringed at your misspelling of Gangnam...
Fast forward 4 years, and with time, it's cute. Funny how that happens.
Looks like they found Magenta's wig on eBay....
Lil' Poundcake yes yes yes hahahaha 😹
shit yes, lmao
+Alison Baldwin it's a fucking word that's part of the English language, calm your ass down, grandma ..🙄🙄🙄
Lil' Poundcake ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
solid question, why isnt her hair red here? Like this makes her look like a discount bride of frankenstien
What have they done to Riff Raff?
:///
+Izzy Foster magenta too damn. its about the character not how well you sing.

guys I don't remember the video:) so I cant really comment. (cba to watch something again I didn't like the first time)
One of them was wearing a fez. It's the Doctor!
oh my gosh it is! I wonder what incarnation he is tho?
Actually, his character is called the “Criminologist.”

Love rocky horror. I went to so many live shows in st. Louis in the 80s

I like this show and good song :)

最高すぎて何回も聴いちゃう見ちゃう！
A cartoon version. Everyone is playing to the back row.
0:47 into Time Warp and Chill you gotta turn and give him this look...
That was fun! ❤
This had got much better by 2015, some of the same cast but much more polished
Awesome!!!
I love this cast!!!
I don't know how anyone could listen to whatever stunt Magenta just pulled and say this performance is anything short of amazing.
giving me goosebumps it’s so good
Am I the only one who really likes this version? Im not a massive fan of the gangnam style bit but i love riff raff and magenta..?

we lived in topeka when I was 5 years old.
Congratulations to the high school cast and production!
This um... Is a professional production
I love it, why not do the time warp again....
This is like The Time Warp as it would be performed at Disney Land. It's like a kids show. It's not "bad" but it's so G rated, and clean.
I've recently watched it and the performance was similar and it was definitely not clean.
they made columbia sound like a baby
She sounds like a baby in the original too. But like in a good way.
I would love to see some shots on the audience.
Not a scratch on the original.
your certainly in a time warp
This brings back so meany memories from year 6 :( good times
This is amazing.
Wow he was amazing i enjoyed it 👏 😍
I'm going to learn this choreography.
Wow! They really sell it! I would have liked to see a performance.
Magenta’s Part in This🤩💋 Chills
Thanks as there will be a 11 and 12 year olds with us x
And,,,,,,,a new generation slips throughhhhhhhh 🥰❤️❤️❤️🎶❤️❤️❤️
the vocals are crazy..
Excuse me that is *not* Kristian Lavercombe as Riff
*EDIT: ok i have learned that that is Kristian and holy shit thank god he's changed over the course of this to how he plays Riff Raff now

Yes it is. Kristian has played Riff Raff all over the world and holds the Guiness Book of records title for playing it the most times of anyone anywhere!! He is phenomenal. He has also understudied & played Frank, & has also played the Narrator.
its like people didnt actually try out, only one person went and they were short on staff
totally killed it. literally
Wow! What a voice!!
Brad is enjoying this a little bit too much lmaooo
As far as I'm aware there isn't one. There were teenagers at our performance. The youngest I say was 14.
I love how everybody's outraged by The Time Warp, yet everybody fucking adores Sweet Transvestite.
Elizabeth Midlford
this performance, to me, was really good overall, and nobody should compare it to the original. Since there isn’t really an ‘original’, every show has its own uniqueness to it.
The Best voice !!!!!!!!
I'm not sure about them splitting up the "duet" scenes with Magenta and Riff Raff. but had to laugh at was that some Gangam style at the end there?
Why is Magenta’s wig in musicals black or ginger but with a white streak in it why
Bride of Frankenstein
Just cause you can go up 2 octaves..dosent mean you should.
Like this version😂👏
Please tell Richard O'Brien has put the director of this in the naughty corner and then open fired!
What have they done to Columbia :’0
The Time Warp looks like they've got stomach cramps 😣
Is that some gangnam style footsteps at the end? So 2012 3:13
Really wanna see this!!!!:(
Amazing
I went to see this, and in my opinion I wouldnt take anyone younger than 14/15 and Im 17
Great dance!!
Say. One of you guys know how to Madison?
Seriously though, what kind of dance is the Madison?
i forgot the blond guys name but it looks and sounds nothing like him
he's not hunched over
Riff Raff?
He has a hunchback as part of the costume.
Woah
Magenta has black hair?
I didn't hate this...but Brad and Janet should NOT be participating in the dance. They must be standing and watching in shock and dismay.
They're not supposed to be seduced till later in the story. That's the whole point - the contrast and conflict of their innocence vs. all the depraved ones around them. Once that difference is lost, it's not as fun to watch.
Not a patch on the original.
simply the worst version I have ever heard - it should be struck from history.
Its not ft that bad lol
+Dan_from_Epsilon_Crucis The strangest thing is that their "Sweet Tranvestite" is very good ...
(and for my englise : yes, i'm not english)
I agree, their Sweet Transvestite rocks!
I felt that some of their portrayals of the characters were pretty good (Brad was great, and so was Oliver Thorton who played Frank) but some I didn't exactly like (the Coloumbia in this one is too unenthusiastic and un hyper)
its not that good either
I love this riff raff
I'm so glad kristian changed his way to perform RiffRaff afterwards.The video kinda disappointed me since I love him so much in the 2015 live screening. He's surly getting better and better. literally my favourite RiffRaff.Only when this video is destroied forever can his perfect image in my mind remains intact. and HE LOOKS STUNNING IN THOSE COSTUME!!!
My mom she was in this
Ben at the end tho 😂😂😂😂
BuffyPerry13 yes😂
I like the girl with the black hair
So Columbia doesnt have to fall over in that song - interesting to know.
The time warp from the film
Wow.
Good vocals
SOUTHEND WIMBLEDON CHURCHILL THEATRE????
このマジェンタの歌声かっこいいし美人で好き
did anyone else notice the gangnam style moves towards the end?
Yes
This is blasphemous...... This has nothing on the original.
I'm pretty sure it's directed by the creator, director and original Riff Raff (Richard O'brien).
Plus with it being a stage show it needs that extra impact to modernise the roles and allow every members of the audience to feel the energy that's onstage :)

Lafayette the Frenciest Fry i like your username and pfp
I saw the show last night night and it was so much better than this. Riffraff is the only good thing about this performance ngl
adding gandum style move at the end is fricken genus amazing video
The classic was designed to mock the dance floor fillers of the time so using the contemporary equivalent is actually fitting
I love this energy😍
