CHORUS: Hot Patootie, bless my soul! I really love that rock 'n' roll. Hot Patootie, bless my soul! I really love that rock 'n' roll. EDDIE: My head used to swim from the perfume I smelled.

SCIENCE FICTION/DOUBLE FEATURE (Reprise) Usherette: Science Fiction, double feature Frank has built and lost his creature Darkness has conquered Brad and Janet The servants gone to a distant planet Wo oh oh oh oh... at the late night, double feature picture show. I wanna go, oh oh oh... To the late night double feature picture show. (Just as a side bar I would like to say some thing about the Rocky Horror show... A lot of people don't seem to get the main premise which is understandable since the movie is more well known than the musical. No one gets to see it done in the style that it was originally intended. When we watch The Picture Show - which I am sure we all do- we are seeing a strange group of characters doing very bizarre things in a realm of dark comedy and extreme campiness. The movie was made purposefully as a B movie. At least this is how my thesis explains it. You see, Rocky is supposed to be begin with Usherettes- which was replaced by big red lips on the screen. The opening song established that what we are about to see is a B SciFi film most likely from the 1950's or so. The audience is being drawn into a bad movie. If you accept those parameters from the opening, you are well aware that the plot and acting never matters. In reality, however, the purposeful bad-acting is what makes it work so well as a movie. As soon as we let ourselves understand that it is not meant to be taken as a real event but as a farce on SciFi/Horror movies of the past, it should become clearer as to why it is such a strange and cultish peice. In the new production which is on Broadway, we see that the entire play takes place on a movie screen. We see the chorus (or phantoms) sitting in the movie house just enjoying the terrible film of 1950's camp. By the third song, the wonderful moviehouse is transformed into the Frankenstein mansion and instead of having the chorus as the audience of the movie, they are now inside the film and we take the place of the audience. By establishing that it is not a play to be taken seriously and the characters within the mansion are just exaggerated charicatures of old-time bad movies, we can accept that we are just being bombarded with fun music and a reality that can be taken with a grain of salt. I think the movie version was just skipping the step of having a movie audience involved, since there would be one anyway. So instead they just made a B movie and didn't let us know that that was the point. :) Some people get it and some people don't! Thanks for letting me have a personal tirade!)
