The Midnight Madness Rocky Horror Cast

Hey nerds,

How goes it? I'm taking a break from listening to Limp Wrist and growing my Viking beard to remind you that Rocky Horror returns to the Music Box THIS SATURDAY!

Our yearly month off in November has come to an end and we're coming back full force (well, at least 75% force... we've all gotten a little fatter post Thanksgiving).

The crazy awesome thing about this show is that it's our annual AUDIENCE NIGHT! That's right, it's the one night a year YOU the audience can join us on stage and perform along side the misfits you've grown to at least tolerate every month. ;p

We've weeded through the emails regarding penis enlargement and Nigerian pyramid scams and cast the audience members who want to give this whole Rocky Horror thing a try. Who knows, maybe one or all of them might end up joining cast??

Anyway, here are the important details:

Love you long time,

Dress up (rocky or non-rocky related, anything goes) for extra fun.

Sorry if you see this twice. I posted to my personal LJ by accident.

Hey all,

Here's the first batch of screen grabs. Haven't gone thru all the tapes yet, but figured I'd post the first 30 or so for your enjoyment.










( Whole bunch more Hedwig goodness right here after the cut!!! )

Hey all,
To those of you who came and saw our presentation of Hedwig and The Angry Inch last night, thank you! You were great and you all got to see an awesome show, probably the best Hedwig show we've ever done. We were videotaping the show last night too, and sometime in the next month or two we'll probably upload a few clips from the show. Pics from the show should be coming sooner.

However, the purpose of this post is to acknowledge the wonderful cast and crew that did such a spectacular job last night. Me, in my infinite idiocy, lost the written cast list around the end of the film, and unlike Rocky where I can do it off the top of my head I can't remember all of the roles and players in Hedwig and I pretty much got caught up and stumbled and quit trying to do it right after announcing out Hedwig and Yitzak performers.

Here now it the complete list of last night's Midnight Radio Performers. I debated adding everyones LJ names to this post, but I'm not sure if everyone is on board with that notion. MOST of us are here on this community though, so feel free to offer up any praise, criticisms, or critiques here.
