ARTS & CULT CLASSICS
5
Magenta and Riff Raff turn on their dear Dr. Frank N. Furter
written dialogue, campy acting and over-the-top singing
make this movie more objectively entertaining than
bad. Additionally, people enjoy the movie unironically
and not just as a joke, such as with Tommy Wiseau’-'s
The Room, which is notoriously badly-written-and has
similar cult status.
When people go to see Rocky Horror (or if you’re
seeing it live, experiencing it), there is no connotation
that anybody dislikes the movie or, is attempting to
make fun of it. Rocky Horror stands out for being ahead
of the times and providing a plot uncharacteristic for
1975, designating its status as a cult classic.
When this event finally ended, thére was thundering
applause for. thé shadowcast and for the movie. The
shadowcast was more than happy to reciprocate this
Cheer, as evidenced by the fact that they stood outside
immediately after the show to thank the audience and to
answer questions.
Clinton Street Theater provides a unique opportunity
for people to experience a movie unlike any other, jrnan
unnatural, fashion, performed by people who care.
If you’re interested in seeing the show, tickets are
still available for their 11:^0 p.m show on Nov. 2, but be
quick, since tickets sell out.
