Richard O'Brien's Rocky Horror Show
1363 Old Globe Way, San Diego, 92101
At the Old Globe, the band blasts, the Gothic set and costumes drip with decadence, but the evening evolves, unlike the cult movie, into slick, un-edgy production numbers. In the movie, Tim Curry cavorts like an androgynous demigod. While Matt McGrath's Frank N. Furter lacks Curry's bravado and vulnerability. The cast has powerful voices, but too often the performance comes first, not the character. That said, I've never seen the Old Globe more energized. The opening night audience, many members dressed as one of the characters and shouting dialogue back at the stage, made the show.
Worth a try.
