An amazing Saturday night.

This past Saturday, I got to do something that I've wanted to do for a very long time; so much so that it was practically a bucket list activity for me. I got to go to a late-night showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show, complete with a shadow cast. It was everything that I hoped it would be. This particular shadow cast, Les Sweet Transvestites, are the official French fan club of Rocky Horror, as proclaimed by Richard O'Brien himself. Unfortunately for me, I didn't get many photos because having a camera without a flash makes for poor photos of dimly lit rooms. Fortunately for me, the cast takes photos of every showing of the film, so I'll post some of their photos after mine.
We got to the theatre (Studio Galande, if anyone fancies going when they're in Paris) a bit late, so we were the last ones in line. We already had our tickets, so that wasn't a big deal; it just meant we wouldn't be able to get seats all together.

The line-up for the movie.

Once inside, we were treated to a pre-film performance of some of the shadow cast dressed up as the Village People, singing and dancing to some of the band's greatest hits. Here's a photo of the crowd (you can see me on the right).

Once the film got started, they started acting alongside (or rather, in front of) the film, as well as yelling out jokes in both English and French, so that the punchline would come from the film itself. We got to join in as well, throwing rice during the two weddings, throwing water during the rain scene, and dancing the Time Warp. The cast would sometimes go right into the audience and interact. Here's a photo of Frank-N-Furter singing to Bex (I can't remember what song it was, though).

Their costumes were perfect; they looked exactly as they do in the film. Here's one final photo. If you want to see more, you can go to their Facebook fan page here.
