What a fun night. GREAT show. Lots of camp. If you are in the area it's a great 90 minute show. Erik Artemis did a great job as Rocky.
Kevin Cahoon was a bang up Frank. The rest of the cast was solid as well.

Did Erik have to wear the same costume shop wig that Nick Adams wore?

He wears a blonde wig, not sure if it is the same wig from previous shows.

Just curious, but does anyone know why Bucks County isn't putting on a live Rocky Horror show this year? I went to look a dates/casting and realized they aren't selling tickets/advertising a show, just airing the movie on Halloween. I thought it was a long-standing annual thing for this playhouse?

Under the old ownership & when the playhouse was non-equity(until 2010), their Rocky Horror was easily the best production I've ever seen. Even topping the last B'way revival. The games & audience interaction with the cast before the show was so much fun. Such high energy from the cast, it felt like a rock concert. Under the new ownership & now equity, the show itself fell flat & lacked energy. The prices at Bucks County are through the roof, likely in order to pay off the massive renovation(up to $75) & they put out cheap productions. The new owners seem to be trying to turn it into a top notch equity theater, but they're far from it.

I saw the 2013 production, and while I appreciated what Hunter Foster was going for, the show was lackluster. The Phantoms during the pre show just wandered silently in the aisles, and Jeremy Kushnier was clearly too sick to go on as Riff Raff (he said at the stage door that he had laryngitis but they didn't have understudies)

I saw the 2014 production and it was very good...and I'm not the biggest fan of productions at the playhouse or the playhouse in general.

I greatly enjoyed the Candide-esque gag of giving the Narrator slightly too much to do in Act 2, leaving him running about between costume changes, and Kevin Cahoon's Frank was weird, smarmy and more than a little Dean Craig Pelton-esque.
