In Just Seven Days I Can Make You a Man

Yes! i have finally made it to a post that I am Super excited about! It's a British/American musical starring Tim Curry and it also happens to be a cult classic. Any guesses? Ok, I will just tell you... The Rocky Horror Picture Show!

Rocky Horror is one of my absolute favorites, i remember as a little kid my mom would take us to the movie store to rent movies and i would always see it sitting on the shelf and I was quite intrigued by the cover. It was a all silver with a big pair of red lips on the front, with what looked like a cross dressing male sitting between them.  I never asked my mom to rent it for me, I just knew she would tell me no.

I never actually got to watch The Rocky Horror Picture Show until about three years ago while i was at my friends house and she was talking about it. I had told her i never seen and she instantly ran to her movie shelf and selected it out and we sat down to watch it.

I found it to be very intresting and entranceing, but it took me a couple times to figure out exactly what it was about.  It starts out with this newly engaged couple, Brad and Janet. They end up with a flat tire on a dark, cold, rainy night. They spot a castle in the distance with lights on so they head in that direction in search of a phone. Once there they are greated by a hunch backed butler and a maid in a skimpy maids outfit. They get swept in a room full of what would look to be Elton John clones and they are blessed with the presence of Dr. Frank N. Furter, who is a self proclaimed transvestite from Transexual, Translyvannia.

At this time Dr. Frank N. Furter is announceing to the convention attendees that he has discovered "the secret to life itself" and reveals that he had made a man, who he names Rocky.

To make a long story show Frank gets intimate with Brad, Janet finds out and sleeps with Rocky, and Frank and Brad find out and are pissed!

Eventually the maid and the butler reveal themselves to be aliens, kill Frank and the castle turns into a spaceship and takes off into the night sky leaving Brad and Janet crawling in the dirt.  The narrator then concludes with comparing the human race to insects crawling on the earths surface.

This musical is great! The musical numbers are catchy and fun, and Tim Curry gives an amazing performance! I feel that it should be something everyone should see at least twice in there life!
