The Rocky Horror Picture Show has extended from the once a month viewing to every weekend thing, at the New Times Theater building on ASU’s campus. As of November 27 the director stated Rocky will continue and include new features as a twist. Tickets are $10 dollars for adults and $5 dollars for anyone under the age of eighteen. Their motto: “Come as you are”.
The show starts off as a free dance off in the center of the stage and is then taken over by the “Virgin Ceremony”. The Virgin Ceremony is when first-time viewers come up in front of everyone to pledge allegiance to the Transylvania lifestyle and to their new leaders.
After the pledge, audience members/participants take part in a costume contest. The winners receive prizes for production tickets, movies and free music downloads.
The top five male and female winners still standing on stage play a game called “Who’s your daddy”. This game is only for those who are eighteen and older (for the game’s contents).
With the movie playing behind the background on the screen, actors play along and use the auditorium as their playground. The “Poo Poo bag” sold for participation contains toasted bread, playing cards, raw hot dogs, newspaper and a water gun.
Throughout the play, when told to do so, the audience uses the items to interact with the play. During the rainy and wet scenes, participants squirt their water guns forward. When it comes to the booing, participants throw hotdogs at other people. By the end of the show, there is an intentional audience-created mess.
Tickets can be purchased online or at the ticket booth outside of the stadium at 730 S Mill Ave, Tempe, AZ 85281 or at the website www.azrocky.com.
Seats go quickly for the 160 seat auditorium. Shows start at noon and the last viewing of the night finishes off at 2 a.m.
