They dress up in costumes from the film, shout out lines, sing along to the songs or throw objects at the screen or around the theatre. Audience participation first started in the 1970s in the USA and started a few years later in the UK as well. Originally it was only for the film but now audience participation has also become a part of the stage show. Below is a list of the props ( prop = accessorio di scena ) people take to the cinema when they go to watch the film. As you watch the film try to imagine when live audiences use each of the props and how. The solutions will tell you when each of these items is used.

  • Popular Music and Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals, and Transgender People: an Annotated Bibliography and Discography
    Page 1 of 35 Popular Music and Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals, and Transgender People: An Annotated Bibliography and Discography. Compiled by Walt “Cat” Walker. Approved by the GLBTRT Resources Committee. Last revised January 12, 2017. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 2 I. General Nonfiction 3 II. Memoirs & Biographies 9 III. Fiction 32 IV. Drama 33 V. Children & Teens 34 VI. DVDs 35 Page 2 of 35 Introduction Gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgender people have always participated in creating popular music. In recent years, the visibility of LGBTQ people in the music world has increased, and more popular music has been created that openly describes the LGBTQ experience. There has also been an increase in books and films related to LGBTQ visibility in popular music, both in fiction and nonfiction. This bibliography includes resources about gay men, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgender persons involved in the popular music field. The books have all been published in print, and many of them may also be found as e-books. Separate sections contain memoirs, novels, plays, and children’s and teen books. Several LGBT popular music-related DVDs are also listed. Each book and DVD has a link to the OCLC WorldCat record (when available) where you can see which libraries hold the item. Most of this resource is comprised of a discography of popular music recordings by LGBTQ artists. It is not meant to be complete, but many recordings still available in CD format for each artist are listed, and several are annotated. Many of these performers’ songs can now also be found on streaming music services and online digital music websites.

  • Glee and the “Ghosting” of the Musical Theatre Canon
    89 Barrie Gelles Graduate Center, City University of New York, US Glee and the “Ghosting” of the Musical Theatre Canon The most recent, successful intersection of media culture and the Broadway musical is the run-away hit Glee. Although Glee features other music genres as often as it does songs from the musical theatre canon, the use of the latter genre offers a particularly interesting opportunity for analysis as it blends two forms of popular culture: the Broadway musical and a hit television show. Applying the concept of “ghosting,” as defined in Marvin Carlson’s The Haunted Stage, I propose that the use of the musical theatre canon in Glee can sometimes offer a more complex reading of a given plot point and/or of character development. This inquiry will consider where the ghosting of the original Broadway musical enhances plot and character within Glee, and where it fails to do so. What is there to gain from doubled layers of implications when these songs are performed? What is risked by ignoring the “ghosts” of musicals past? Finally, and tangentially related, how is Glee reframing the consumption of musical theatre? Barrie Gelles is a fellowship student in the PhD Program in Theatre at The Graduate Center at CUNY. She completed her Masters, in Theatre, at Hunter College and has a BA from Sarah Lawrence College. In addition to Barrie’s scholarly pursuits, she directs theatre throughout New York City. Alright guys, we’re doing a new number for sectionals. I know that pop songs have sort of been our signature pieces, but I did a little research on past winners and it turns out that judges like songs that are more accessible, stuff they know, standards, Broadway.

  • 35 Jim Sharman's the Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)
    ‘G IVE YOURSELVES OVER TO ABSOLUTE PLEASURE ’: THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW ’S QUEERING OF COUNTERCULTURE FILM Monica MICHLIN Université Paris IV - Sorbonne Jim Sharman’s The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975), the filmic adaptation of the Richard O’Brien musical, stands out among other musical films of the counter-culture. It is remarkable for its excess, its energy, its humor, its mocking of traditional gender codes and its pronounced taste for the “visually abysmal” both in the meaning of camp and its mise en abyme of icons of both high and low visual culture—from Michelangelo’s David to Charles Atlas ads, and from Frankenstein (James Whale, 1931) to King Kong (Cooper and Schoedsack, 1933) to The Wizard of Oz (Victor Fleming, 1939)—in a pastiche and parody of genre films. While it is, itself, a hodge-podge of musical 1 and horror story, a warped romantic comedy and a science fiction farce, it deploys its unique countercultural energy in its Dionysian celebration of its queer main character, Dr. Frank’n’Furter, a transvestite avatar of Dr. Frankenstein, played by Tim Curry. In highlighting how its queering of genres is meshed with the queering of gender, and the hedonistic celebration of “performance,” I will stress how the film’s deliberately provocative visual and narrative techniques, as well as its constant celebration of excess and chaos prompt the audience to warp it in turn and, in a mise en abyme of the carnivalesque, to break down the fourth wall in the way fan communities started to do one year after the film’s release, in midnight performances, arguably making it to this day the ultimate cult film of the mid-seventies.

  • Dammit, Janet: If You Love Rocky Horror, Don’T Miss RKO Con
    Dammit, Janet: If you love Rocky Horror, don’t miss RKO Con It’s just a jump to the left, then a step to the right … into Downcity Providence. It’s time for RKO Con 2019. RKO Con is a celebration of 1975’s The Rocky Horror Picture Show. A commercial flop in its initial release, the movie was re-released as a midnight showing in 1976 at the Waverly Theatre in New York City and was selling out, with many people seeing the show multiple times. It gained so much popularity that people started interacting with the show — yelling insults and praises, and throwing things (hot dog, anyone?) during the movie screenings to show their enthusiasm. It’s through this tradition that the cult following of The Rocky Horror Picture Show was born, and from that, shadow casts began gaining popularity. Shadow casts are the dedicated lovers of Rocky Horror who don costumes, makeup and sometimes a motorcycle to act out the film in front of the screen while The Rocky Horror Picture Show plays behind them. Picture it, you see Eddie singing “Hot Patootie,” and in front of it, there’s someone dressed as Eddie mimicking his motions, dance moves and generally rocking out to the song, just like you would in the privacy of your own living room. In RI and the local Massachusetts area, if you’ve gone to see a Rocky Horror movie, you’ve seen the RKO Army. The RKO Army takes its shadow cast name from RKO Pictures (meaning Radio-Keith-Orpheum), which is a film production company that is referenced in Rocky Horror.
