The small BX studio is a flurry of activity as scantily clad actors race across the room, preparing for the fast-approaching performance.
Big Apple Productions香蕉视频直播� and director Neal Facey, backed by a team of talented actors willing to bare it all on stage, are gearing up to do the time warp again in the fourth annual Rocky Horror Show at O香蕉视频直播橩eefe Ranch Oct. 25-28.
香蕉视频直播淚 thought that, after most of our audience having seen the show, I assumed they would have had enough,香蕉视频直播� Schein said. 香蕉视频直播淏ut a local uprising not only from the audience but from cast and crew was really exciting. The show must go on.香蕉视频直播�
With roots in the original 1973 London musical written by Richard O香蕉视频直播橞rien, the performance tells of a trusting young couple Janet Weiss (played by Melaney Campbell) and Brad Majors (Craig Howard) who find themselves in need of aid after their car breaks down.
They travel to a nearby castle, only to fall under the twisted supervision of Dr. Frank N. Furter (Brian Martin) 香蕉视频直播� the depraved mad scientist in fishnets and high-heels 香蕉视频直播� and his lackeys Riff Raff (Don Cecile), Magenta ( ) and Furter香蕉视频直播檚 prized creation, Rocky Horror (Richard Chippendale).
It香蕉视频直播檚 a story of science fiction, B horror, sexuality and physical comedy. And it香蕉视频直播檚 one that has gained traction in Vernon audiences.
香蕉视频直播淥n the surface, it feels like a nonsensical show with very little plot,香蕉视频直播� Schein said. 香蕉视频直播淚t just grew this incredible cult following. Now, more than ever, the message of being yourself and giving in to life香蕉视频直播檚 pleasures are more relevant than ever before. I think on the popularity of the show, people want a space where they can feel welcomed and the Rocky Horror Show does that.香蕉视频直播�
Facey, who has directed the show for the past four years, agreed.
香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 a good show about inclusion 香蕉视频直播� that香蕉视频直播檚 the message that people are grabbing,香蕉视频直播� he said.
The message embedded in the performance, said Burgher 香蕉视频直播� who was a phantom in her introduction to the Rocky Horror Show last year 香蕉视频直播� is one that strikes close to home.
香蕉视频直播淚 think Vernon comes across as a conservative town, yet everyone loves this crazy show. Given the show has a cult following everywhere and that the message is so awesome, it香蕉视频直播檚 really not surprising,香蕉视频直播� she said. 香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 a town where they don香蕉视频直播檛 get that outlet.香蕉视频直播�
And for Chippendale, who is making his debut on the stage in Rocky香蕉视频直播檚 iconic skimpy gold Speedo, it香蕉视频直播檚 an opportunity to push beyond his comfort zone.
香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 crazy. I really wanted to do something big when I turned 50,香蕉视频直播� Chippendale said, joking that it doesn香蕉视频直播檛 get bigger than Rocky. 香蕉视频直播淚 saw it two years ago and was blown away. It香蕉视频直播檚 really a huge opportunity. I never dreamt of it in a million years. I truly believe you have to live each day. Anything you want to do, do it. That香蕉视频直播檚 why I香蕉视频直播檓 here.香蕉视频直播�
Pushing beyond the boundaries is something that is becoming more comfortable for Martin, who is ready for his fourth year as Dr. Frank N. Furter.
香蕉视频直播淚t feels great. I think this is the most fun I香蕉视频直播檝e had doing this,香蕉视频直播� Martin said as he sat in an outfit of heavy eye makeup, a tight black leather vest, fishnets and high-heels, leaving little to the imagination. 香蕉视频直播淚 get super nervous doing this, but it feels good this year.香蕉视频直播�
And it香蕉视频直播檚 a sentiment that is widely felt throughout the Rocky Horror Show cast.
香蕉视频直播淚t feels so good,香蕉视频直播� Burgher said of the production. 香蕉视频直播淲hen she (Schein) decided that it was going to happen, I knew I was going to come back.香蕉视频直播�
Given her previous experience in the show, Burgher is excited to try out a new character.
香蕉视频直播淚 was a bit sad to lose the phantom, but it香蕉视频直播檚 a really different perspective,香蕉视频直播� she said.
To keep the show fresh for audience who are back for their fourth year, Schein and her team have added surprise changes and a list of local celebrity guest narrators, including Mayor Akbal Mund, Betty Selin of Sun FM, the esteemed Barry Dorval, Sproing Creative香蕉视频直播檚 Heath Fletcher and many more 香蕉视频直播� all leading to a production Schein boasts as raunchier than ever.
But with Martin and Howard as the only actors returning to their former roles, it香蕉视频直播檚 a homecoming that is sure to be different from previous years.
香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 been good this year because we have a new cast,香蕉视频直播� Facey said, adding that some actors have stayed with the cast but moved to different roles. 香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 fresh. It香蕉视频直播檚 a fun show 香蕉视频直播� people should come out and expect to be entertained.香蕉视频直播�
As the crew works hard to do the time warp again, excitement is high to bring back the Vernon Halloween tradition.
香蕉视频直播淚t feels wonderful,香蕉视频直播� Schein said. 香蕉视频直播淓very time we get into the production, it feels like coming home.香蕉视频直播�
