The Rocky Horror Picture Show Event Offical Thread — Page 2

A lot, clearly. :)

I will respond to a point made by a person I've blocked once and only once (though I'm almost certain they know better and are just trolling, as is their usual practice) to explain what I meant by what I said. (Frankly, I wouldn't know what they said if I hadn't clicked Reply to see why the last poster looked like a maniac trying to stir the pot. That's what happens when replies in a thread disappear. :P)

As the great casting director Michael Shurtleff once said, "Many times I have heard directors say about an actor: 'That is the best audition we'll ever see of that role. Too bad we can't cast him.' Their regret is genuine. But there has to be a balance in casting -- the parts must fit like a jigsaw puzzle -- and there are times when the best auditioners don't 'fit.'"

The casting for this event looks like the parts were fit together by sledgehammer. Hope no one hurt their thumb in the process. I'm not asking for the Partridge Family, or even for the Tribe from Hair. I just want a cast that makes sense.

To everyone who understood my point better after this post, thank you for listening. To the person whom I've blocked: eat a peach.

For at least the third time! #realcred

A way I can see this loony casting making sense is if they're going for a complete parody of the original. Not that the original was to be taken seriously, but maybe this is just going to be ridiculous fun.

What a hot ass mess of a cast

I've never commented on the rocky show except that I said that I liked the casting of Ben. I' m just smart enough to realize it's pointless to bitch about every live broadcast before I have seen them. You, my ridiculous quirky Carlos, have eaten your words on the Wiz and Grease. But it's cool man. You're just expressing yourself. :)

I mean are you actually denying that that you didn't complain about The Wiz? You said my comments were untrue, yet you publicly admitted that your friends in the cast scolded you for bitching about the production too much. How do you respond to that?

I'm not sure if you'd be really good in politics or really bad.....

Ps. I'm not Liza.

LOL Cinders....I don't think some would be able to handle my pelvic thrust.....it will drive them in-say-yay-yay-yay-yane!!!

Do you guys think the ensemble of this will be Broadway people? Is Telsey casting this?

I think her name is one of those names that you think you know who it is, but you're wrong. When she was announced, I was like "Oh! Her! That could be fun." and then I...was terribly mistaken. I know I've heard of her, but I'm not familiar with her as an entertainer. That is what baffles me. She isn't a name, so they easily could have casted a Broadway lady. Lilli Cooper would have been terrific.

FYI Jane - You're supposed to start a sentence with capital letters, not lowercase! Just in case you didn't know.
