Okay, someone with Final Cut and a lot of time on their hands needs to make this into a real movie.

It's just a script? What a rip-off! (I was expecting the actual thing...)

I just read that all the way through. It's actually not bad.

But -- but someone spent an awful lot of time putting that together. I'm 80% impressed, 20% scared, and 20% eager to see a version of this in some teeny black box theatre, which is the only possibly place it could ever see the light of day.

And that's 120% anticipation, so somebody better get on it before chicobangs explodes!

I will not be able to watch the Muppets, the Rocky Horror Picture Show or attend a con again without thinking of this. And giggling.

Ghods, the 80's must have sucked out my brains!

Some of the references seem a bit tacky/nerdy, but the consitency and the concept of eaten sheet music is absolutely astounding.

Too bad the rights to this would be impossible to get. >_<

It's the Muppets meets Rocky Horror. This redefines tacky and nerdy.

I've seen a different version of the Rocky Horror Muppet Show performed by the Vicarious Theatre Company in Seattle.

Not bad at all! This was actually quite close to the calibre of the original show.

Jesus, they actually PERFORMED this?
Un-be-fucking-lievable.

tefari - all kinds of stuff gets performed at Filk cons. I suspect, although do not know this for a fact, that this playlet was the focus performance on Saturday night.

[A filk con/filk festival, for those who may not know, is a weekend party with a hotel full of of people who write and/or perform filks (songs generally with a SF/Fantasy theme, sometimes written to existing songs, sometimes completely original). Filkers like to take a one line joke (like Rocky Horror Muppet Show) and run with it. OVFF is the Ohio Valley Filk Festival.]

As far as I know, it was a one-off performance (although I wouldn't be surprised if they did it again somewhere else).

Actually, when I was a wee'un, I remember reading an issue of Muppet magazine (there was such a thing; the highlight was usually Miss Piggy's advice column) in which there was an extended cartoon parody of RHPS. I remember almost nothing about it as I didn't know the movie then -- but I remember that I remembered it the first time I saw the movie.

Then there's The Rocky and Bullwinkle Horror Picture Show, via MeFi 2003.

After doing RHPS for a while, I would suspect that that may have just been a theme night and that they didn't actually perform the Rocky Horror Muppet Show -script- so much as the normal RHPS went on with characters dressed in some sort of cross-over getup.
