5.0 out of 5 stars chelsea girl, March 30, 2006

By	Chelsea Girl "CG" (Kings Road) - See all my reviews

This is the only authentic theatrical rendition of RHS as it was originally intended. There is none of the 'belting it out' of the Roxy version, and later versions lack subtlety and drama.

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE IT!, September 28, 2004

By	Billy "Mr. Tex" (Celeste, TX USA) - See all my reviews

It's so bad that it can't be overlooked. By me that is. It's like a really bad high school production.

I had always thought that the whole "Antici....PATION" was there from the very beginning, but it wasn't. But, it's still great to hear Tim a few years younger here. And to hear Rocky having more to sing than just "Sword of Damocles" and "Rose Tint My World" is great.

I'm listening to this CD while I'm typing this and laughing my head off. It's so much fun. If not enjoy this for it's historical signifigance(historical as in this recording is 31 years old), then listen to it if you need a really good laugh.

Out of all the recordings of this show I own(2000 cast, 1974 cast, and movie soundtrack), I personally like the 2000 cast.

But, this cast album is very fun. The energy of the opening of a brand new show with people who were just getting to know each other is wonderful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great cd! A must have for Rocky Lovers, February 9, 1999

By A Customer

This CD is great. The music is better than in the movie, and I like it better than the Roxy cast. It's interesting and fun to hear Tim Curry, Ritz O'Brien, Patricia Quinn and Little Nell do the same parts they did in the movie. It has speaches from the Crim, too.

A must-have for any true Rocky Horror fan, but, a very different version than what you have come to love. Read more
