One had an idea of what to expect, but was not sure how it would go down.
'Dr. Frank N Furter' is creating is own idea of man, for his enjoyment. During the proceedings, along come Brad and Janet, two stranded motorists, seeking refuge. They certainly get more than they bargained for in this re-working of the classic Frankenstein story, with more make-up and lip gloss than on sale at Boots Chemist.
The songs come thick and fast, and are wonderfully funny. One cannot help but smile when you hear the first few beats of 'The Timewarp'.
It has a unique kind of humour, and it works so wonderfully well, with just the best performances, especially from marvellous Tim Curry as 'Dr. Frank N Furter', and boy does he look good in that glorious creation of a costume.
Richard O'Brien is a genius for his creation of the show, and working on the film. It still brilliantly stands the test of time.
For me the show is almost stolen by Charles Gray, I doubt I will ever be able to take "Diamonds are Forever" seriously again, all I will be waiting for is for 'Blofeld' to take a step to the left, then the right and put his hands on his hips etc.
Mad, camp, crazy and addictively funny.......8 out of 10
