This is how you do Rocky Horror "differently." Nothing like the movie but still incredible. Everyone trying to defend the upcoming Fox version but saying it's "different from the movie" are failing to realize that it still looks terrible.
I think that this is a great version, just different. I'm an ENORMOUS Rocky Horror fan myself, almost devoting myself to it, and though this isn't as good as the movie sequence, it's really fun, you gotta admit. And Daphne Rubin-Vega is a goddess to me.
due to how this was shot, Riff's face is chalk whiteand his hair appears green. It makes me think of 'the Joker' playing the role , but then I wonder what role would Harley take , magenta or Columbia?
go! id go any time if it were back in germany! it's amazing, perhaps not for little kids but teenagers and adults will have the fun of their lives. did you watch the movie? it's so much better, the musical is.
I love Rocky Horror, but I've seen a better Time Warp sequence at my local community theater. I don't know if it's because it's on a hand held or what, but this doesn't scream "Broadway." Not terrible tho.
I know hard putting on a show is and I would never dare complain about tiny plot changes, casting, costume changes or even production values and singing voices...but couldn't they have at least done the time warp correctly!?
I don't think she is. She might be, but her title is "A Groupie." She might have been Eddie's (human) girlfriend who took a liking to Frank and decided to group up with the aliens, & gave Eddie to Frank as an offering, so long as in return, she could go with them to Transsexual, Transylvania.
Hmmm...not the best, but there have been worse ;) The current UK tour should go to broadway, methinks the director of this show's tried to put to much into it...
The characters are good and we expect to see some variations to keep it "fresh" but frankly I think that the staging was poorly done and cheap and they took too much license with the material. Terrence Mann was pretty good, but a tad wooden. So far the best RHS I have seen on You Tube is the one with Stuart Matthew Price as Riff Raff
This Riff Raff is really awful... lemme just garble and scream... I'm no Daphne-Rubin Vega fan either... lemme just mumble then bark like a dog (which I think was "Lucky lucky lucky")

I miss this! Good thing I still possess the cast recording! Out of all the recordings I think this is the best version of THE TIME WARP! :)

katiethemstie I can see you are a fan of Mista J.isn't it just me or does Riff look like he could play him real well?
karistasogare Yes yes!!
I love the girl that plays Columbia in this production and the girl that got casted for Magenta is absolutely divine.
i commend their courage in re-inventing this show in such a way
I loved this version when it was Broadway. The venue was intimate and shaped like a big horseshoe.
joan jett was casted for columbia and she wasnt doing the tap dance but played a riff, so looks like she wasnt in it anymore but they kept the guitar
I still can't get over Dick Cavett as the Narrator, that was perfect casting
I want to see all Broadway musicals *-*

Stay tuned for a couple more bits.
Wow! Daphne is really good!
I don't like the idea of the audience not getting up and going wild.
someone tell me what its like i dont know if to see it or not and what age would you recomend?
wasnt Raul Esparza in this cast, what role did he play?
LEEET'S DOO THE TIIME WAARP AGAAAAAAAINNN!!!!
@drumer765432 Obviously you haven't seen the stage version. She's there the whole time.
The chamber choir at my school is doing this song, but they won't let us do the pelvic thrust... xD
why does no one any videos of alice ripley?! D:
uh, i thought joan jett was columbia in this? playing guitar instead of the tap dance but that wasnt her.
@Khaos696 Why perform a part just like the movie? If I wanna see Tim Curry I'll just watch the movie, not go watch a live showing of it.
It's just so hard for those who play Brad and Janet not to do the Time Warp Dance (again)!
In my opinion this song version is the best time warp though the performance is off
What happened to the costumes?
If Columbia's gonna play electric guitar instead of tap dance, could the Time Warp actually occur?
Who is the narrator that night?
Omg that was totally Mimi from rent! Btw Columbia... She has to have her tap dance and sparkly vest! It's just not the same...
Matthew Morrison is in the ensemble (transylvanian)
Daphne's a great Magenta.
go! id go any time if it were back in germany! it's amazing, perhaps not for little kids but teenagers and adults will have the fun of their lives. did you watch the movie? it's so much better, the musical is.
@WWEQAF Raul played Riff Raff earlier to Tom Hewitt's Dr. Frank.
Riff Raff is great an all but whats with his hair?
Good to know Mimi’s career finally picked up! LOL
The Columbia in this video was in the original broadway cast of Rent as well, she played Alexi Darling
this is broadway? cuz i didnt know it played broadway
and this looks like a pretty small theater, and honestly this cast is only okay
WHAT KIND OF MAGENTA IS THAT?!
Mimi

These guys are enjoying themselves too much! Not that its a bad thing.

They never actually do the time warp steps? I mean, the choreography is fun, but...
Why is Riff Raff yelling at meee. D:
@gabysylv she's not, she's a human groupie, a crazed fan of dr.frank n furter
what
the
fuck?
what happened to this wonderful song?
@kingpita172
i must say nothing like Richard O'brian as Riff Raff!!!!! in the original theater cast and movie!!!!
I don't think she is. She might be, but her title is "A Groupie." She might have been Eddie's (human) girlfriend who took a liking to Frank and decided to group up with the aliens, & gave Eddie to Frank as an offering, so long as in return, she could go with them to Transsexual, Transylvania.
Its just a jump to the left...
@Donalx07 yeah, but even for understudies they're not very good lol
@plurboy15 riff and columbia are both understudies and not the best understudies either. The original cast was waay better.
The music and choreography's good, but I'm not keen on the costumes at all; the Phantoms/Transylvanians just look like they work in Hot Topic :/
Hmmm...not the best, but there have been worse ;)
The current UK tour should go to broadway, methinks the director of this show's tried to put to much into it...

@ZachisBoss22 Looks like a Gene Simmons wig!
Its just...off. Way to long in some parts, and the tune is so wrong to the song in others. Makes me sad.
oh trust me NO you don't. not with some of the crap they putting on Broadway. I will be nice and not say the names of the musicals/ plays.
This Riff Raff is good, but nowhere near as awesome as Raul Esparza
@BSEH86 I SAID THIS EXACT THING!! LIES!!
This Riff Raff is really awful... lemme just garble and scream... I'm no Daphne-Rubin Vega fan either... lemme just mumble then bark like a dog (which I think was "Lucky lucky lucky")
the riff raff is very talented, but it's just not the character of riff raff..
Australia cast is 10X better
Choreography on this SUCKED!
This is not the movie! Goodness...
