The freaks came out at night
MORE ROCKY HORROR
In a word: Awesome
I can’t speak for ticket sales or anything, but I’m gonna go ahead and declare Thursday night’s viewing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show at the Hippodrome a huge success.
That has to have been the naked-est crowd the stately Hippodrome has ever seen. There were fishnets, bustiers and wigs galore and even a singe pair of gold briefs. I went as a Transylvanian, because it was easy. And I met up with my own little troupe of freaks — Magenta (Amanda), Riff (Dan), Janet (Mary) and Brad (Doug).
The energy at the show was great and I was especially glad to see RHPS fans of all ages. Amanda was even sweet enough to point out that when I first fell in love with RHPS in high school, Amanda was three years old. Thanks, sweetie.
The Queerios, the shadow cast from Austin was good, but honestly, the people who made my night were the locals who were so diehard, they knew every line to shout. To all of them, I say thank you.
The Hippodrome brought the weird out in Waco for sure. I hope to see much more of that. We’ll be posting a video from the event soon, so watch for that. For now, here are some of my own personal pics.
