Performance Critique

I attended Rocky Horror Picture Show at Konocti Vista Casino. It was very great production that left me singing along and wanting it to never end.

I believe that some extra scenery changes would be helpful to understanding some aspects of the play. The costumes and memorization seemed great. There were some pretty interesting choices that I viewed throughout the play. One of them was when Columbia
