If there’s one thing I like to do whenever I get in a really Rocky Horror mood, is to put in the YouTube search bar ‘Rocky Horror’ and set the video length on maximum.
Because that way you can get a whole bunch of recordings of all sorts of fun RHS productions. Interesting international versions and/or oddball local shows, all sort of fun stuff! Like Spanish Rollerblading Action Frank here!
And I have a special soft spot for the cheapo productions, really. I mean, the current West End Version is pretty damn cool - but there’s something especially ‘punk-rock’ about making Rocky Horror works with a budget of twenty dollars and a corset which fits just so well with the whole Vibe of RHS. I just love seeing folks finding clever cost-efficient workarounds to some of the trickier setpieces, and improvise the characters’ outfits via the power of Closet Cosplay + Maid Halloween Costume for Magenta.
And one example that really stuck with me is from this little video.
So one thing you notice watching a lot of smaller RHS productions, is that one design detail a lot of folks tend to just drop is Frank’s labcoat-frock-thingie.
Because, well, it’s an outfit that only appears for one scene, and it’s not as iconic as his other Looks and it’s a bit harder to cobble together from bits from the closet of your Most Interesting Friend. So if you’re working with a shoestring budget, it makes more sense to give Frank a Generic Labcoat or just go ‘screw it! Frank-N-Furter does Mad Science in his lingerie!’
But this production… this production actually thought up a really fun solution to the LabFrock problem!
Frank's Lab Outfit is a Sexy Nurse Halloween Costume!
I just... love this so much! It's cost-efficient and it's creative and it's fun and it's just so perfectly Frank-N-Furter! That's exactly the kind of thing that makes me love theatre AND Rocky Horror!!
