Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: "Theater terms such as classic, period and style most often evoke images of Shakespearean drama, Greek tragedy or Restoration comedy.
So it's somewhat surprising to hear director Scott Wise using those words in an interview about 'The Rocky Horror Show,' which will be performed starting Thursday at the Pittsburgh Playhouse."

I'd really like to see this show! Despite my love of the show and movie, I still haven't seen the show onstage. Perhaps I'll be able to make my way there to see it--plus, the added bonus of seeing one of G Downs' sets would be cool too.
It's really great how this cult show has kept its reputation going so long; and, by doing it at the college level, I would expect most of the integrity of the show to be kept. A theatre back home recently put the show on, but stripped most of the language and sexual moments out of the show--leaving it very disjointed and lifeless.
I'm glad to see that Point Parke is branching out from classic theater that people can find anywhere. This show has such a large cult following, it will definitely attract a large audience.
