Yes I was a 'virgin'. All my friend were, but we dare didn't say so (lol). I know, I know that's part the fun and altho some of us aren't as outgoing as others I think those of us that were would have been more inclined to participate if the movie hadn't started so late, and the pre-show hadn't been so long. I appreciate the work that had gone into it but I think because of the late start (which wasnt their fault) the cast should have cut back the pre show a bit and got right to it.
By the time the movie had started we all were a little aggravated from waiting around but I love Rocky Horror so I was super excited personally. I guess it wasn't totally what I expected. I knew parts but didn't realize stuff was yelled the WHOLE time. I don't know if this was just this cast or all Rocky Horror (id love to hear from others with different experiences) but I thought for the most part you could watch some of the movie and clever comments and props were used throughout. My BF had never seen it and walked out saying, "ok can we go home and watch it, Id love to see it" so yes needless to say the 'participation' was more then I thought. On the few occasions where everyone was together, the timing was right and the corresponding jokes were funny, it made us laugh and it was a good time but for most of it, it was a bunch of people yelling different things over each other at different times and I had a hard time getting it because I couldn't hear what it related to in the movie. I'd say maybe a little less of that and the rest of it a little better executed and it'd be a lot more fun. I think ultimately it'd make it that much more enjoyable for everyone, and not just those involved with the screening. I used to be a drama kid too so I thought back to how fun this sort of thing would have been for me and my friends, but in retrospect I see now that you must remind yourselves, don't forget the audience.
