So, you’re coming to Rocky Horror?


So, you’re coming to Rocky Horror?  

You should probably know up front that there are STANDARDS! (I don’t have many, but Rocky Horror brings out the standards in me).
If you are a woman, bare minimum of dress up is at least fish net stockings.
If you are a man, bare minimum of dress up is at least fish net stockings.
Get the idea?
Singing along is encouraged and interacting is heroic.

Want to interact, but don’t know what’s involved??

Here is a “props list” of items you will need to interact with the film. 
NB: when it says “throw” please throw UPWARDS, not at the screen or other people!

Props List…

Rice
Water gun
News Paper
Lighter/torch /glow stick
Party hat
Noise maker
Rubber Glove
Toast


Rice: At the beginning of the film is the wedding of Ralph and Betty.
Enjoy throwing the rice along with the on-screen wedding guests.


Newspapers: When Brad and Janet are caught in the storm, Janet covers her head with a newspaper Do as she does!


Water pistols: The Audience uses their water pistols to simulate the rainstorm that Brad and Janet are caught in.


Candles, torches, glow sticks: During the "There's a light" verse of "Over at the Frankenstein Place, you should light up the theatre with candles, flashlights, lighters, etc. (at indoor screenings, please don’t use open flame!)


Rubber gloves: During and after the creation speech, Frank snaps his rubber gloves three times. Later, Magenta pulls these gloves off his hands. You should snap your gloves in sync each time to create a fantastic sound effect.


Noisemakers: At the end of the creation speech, the Transylvanians respond with applause and noisemakers. Go nuts!!


Confetti: At the end of the "Charles Atlas Song" reprise, the Transylvanians throw confetti as Rocky and Frank head toward the bedroom. You should do the same.


Toast: When Frank proposes a toast at dinner, members of the audience throw toast into the air


Party hat: At the dinner table, when Frank puts on a party hat, you do the same.


Other interactions (more common in the UK than NZ)
When the narrator is talking about Brad and Janet, the audience yell out “slut” and “arsehole”

I’m always dressed as Magenta in one of her forms, see ya there!
