Review: RICHARD O'BRIAN'S ROCKY HORROR SHOW at MusemusQuartier Vienna

IT'S ASTOUNDING!

Time is fleeting. More than 20 million people worldwide have done the Time Warp since Opening Night back in 1973. Richard O'Brian's tunes still made people dance and sing, some of them perfectly dressed for Frank'n'Furter's Floorshow. No one ever expected this little show to generate an ongoing hype, a musical party that nothing can rely on. If you don't know, you know now! The ROCKY HORROR SHOW is a one-of-a-kind Musical Theatre sensation. A divine party with illustrious characters and catchy tunes, one of the secrets of the show's huge success. The likes of Rob Fowler ( Frank'n'Furter) or Stuart Matthew Price ( with one of the best Riff-Raff interpretations of all time) set a very high bar when the Tour first hits the road. Massive shoes or heels to fill for the current cast members. The whole plot is brought back to the roots, and the (thrifty) set design reminds you of the good old B-Movies. The fewer people you get on stage, the more you have to increase the volume. Of course, Rockn Rolls Number one rule is, the louder, the better, and damn it ( Janet), Musical Director Dan Tomkinson and his fellowship of musicians transformed the Halle F into a Rock Venue.

Leading the cast of ( only) twelve, as Frank'n'Furter, Oliver Savile has done many good things to one musical theatre's well-known characters. He is sharing the stage with Christian Lunn as Frank's Furters mastermind Riff-Raff, one of the biggest surprises of Opening Night. We all are still aware of the chills Stuart Matthew Price gave us when he was bringing the house down every night. Lunn has done the same but in a different style. Riff-Raff is one of the most important characters in and for the show, treat him with respect and create some Rocky Horror madness.

With Actor Sky Dumont as the ( superb) Narrator, Rocky Horror is a loud and funny night out. It is still as bizarre and brilliant as back in the days at The Royal Court Theatre.
