It's that time again! Just when you
were just recovering from our Special
Valentine's Day Show, we come back with
*another* Lingerie Night. Well, there are
just some things you can't get enough of.
Just a bit of trivia, Midnight Insanity has
held the tradition of Lingerie Night for over
TWO YEARS!!! That's a lot of . . . ummm,
participants! Yeah, *participants* on our
stage. We're absolutely delighted (in ways
you may or may not want to know about)
that you're all here and continue to strut
your stuff on our stage on these very
special nights dedicated to you, our
audience . . . half naked.
Midnight Insanity broke new ground *again* by producing not one, but TWO special Valentine's Day performances! We begin with Bill's first foray into stage direction and choreography, Tim Curry's "Baby Love". Ever since hearing that song for the first time, I though, "Wow, this would be neat for Frank to sing to his Rocky". Complete with Janet in her usual slut role (the Last Temptation of Rocky?), and a band of Motown Transylvanian backup singers (choreographed by Leisa). Before things can even cool off even a little, Leisa's |
beautifully choreographed version of Little
Nell's, "Fever", continued pumping right
along. It was a very hot night indeed, and
that doesn't even count our guest host, Sal
Piro, President of the Rocky Horror National
Fan Club and someone who has personally
seen Rocky over 1500 times!!! After years
of meeting up at conventions and television
tapings, we were very happy to finally have
him join us in our theatre and on our stage.
Sal truly showed his years, er, decades of
experience at doing Rocky Horror. It was a
special treat indeed!!
Cupid wasn't the only one busy on Valentine's Day weekend . . . after putting on our own special show, we ventured right on up (some without sleeping) to Beverly Hills for a Sunday (?) Convention. As scary as Rocky people are in the daytime, it was quite a worthwhile affair. We were treated to many special performances from several other casts, as well as putting on our own special performances! It was a lot of fun to visit with our fellow cast members from in and around California. One of the casts is "Indecent Exposure", hailing all they way from Berkeley, California. Midnight Insanity is planning a cast road-trip, probably sometime in April to visit them. If you're interested, see the cast!!!!! |

If you missed the Beverly Hills Mini-
Con . . . well, too bad. Conventions aren't
necessarily held in California and are rarely
this close to home. All the more reason to
prepare for the 20th Anniversary
Convention. The last major convention was
the 15th Anniversary Convention, "The
Master's Affair", held in Beverly Hills on
October 20th, 1990. It was an absolutely
dazzling evening, complete with T-shirts,
buttons, posters, 2000 audience members,
and, of course, the STARS! That's right, Tim
Curry, Richard O'Brien, Barry Bostwick,
Patricia Quinn, Little Nell and Meatloaf were
all in attendance. Many past and present
cast members participated in the actual
performance. As always, 20th Century Fox
won't tell us a damn thing till the last
second so we'll have to give you updates
month to month (or week to week!) to let
you know when to be ready for it. The 20th
Anniversary to Rocky will be possibly the
biggest Rocky gathering ever so start
saving your pennies, you DON'T want to
miss this!
Time to get out those paddles again, we went and did the real research this time and actually have birthday's for you!!! February Birthdays include Dave (Security, 2/1), and Crystal (Betty Monroe, 2/27). March Birthdays include: Alethea (Scenic Tech/Trannie, 3/10). Okay, so there aren't that many this month, it just gives you a chance to concentrate your wrath on the privileged few! |
Over the past few weeks, we've done
some juggling on stage . . . just to keep you
all on your toes. We began this month with
Leisa and Diego in the roles of Brad and
Janet, and have had Mandi in the role of
Columbia. Kristine made a guest
appearance for Pre-Show and tonight, she's
doing another as Trixie. We lost Louise
(Trannie), hopefully temporarily, but we've
added Kelly (Trannie) and the return of
Gabriel (Merchandising). Daniel also
performed "Dueling Franks" with us at the
Beverly Hills Convention. Not enough? Well,
next week we'll have a virgin performance
from Kelly in the role of Janet, Carolee will be
giving us her virgin performance in the role
of Trixie, and Shawna will be joining us on
stage as Magenta sometime in the near
future. AND, as a special treat, "Tacky
Horror" is coming up! Yes, that's right,
April 1, 1995, Midnight Insanity will present
"Tacky Horror", your favorite performers,
switching parts for a night.
Midnight Insanity would like to thank the Art Theatre staff for letting us perform here *every* week. The cool folks down at Seal Beach Denny's, and Joe, our ultra-cool Denny's waiter who comes to our show . . . and of course, all of you, our faithful, loving, demented, slightly-insane audience, who come down *every fucking week*, to see the show (or make use of the back row, as the case may be). |
