The first time I saw the RHPS was the freshman year in college. A couple of people I knew took me to an early showing that was pretty much empty.

Then we went to the midnight showing, :)

I never saw it in a theater......total bummer.....but I have it on dvd, and watch it when I need the laugh. If I could find a theater that still did the whole audience participation thing, I'd be there with beels on.....ok, maybe a corset and garter belt.....you know what I mean!

I've tried to watch this movie countless times and can never seem to make it past five minutes.
I think it's one of the worst films ever made.

I just ran across this thread, or would have posted last week. I went to a showing the Friday before Halloween, my first in about 25 years when I actually saw a stage version. It wasn't a midnight show, as it started at 10PM. I had a RHPS virgin with me who enjoyed it a lot, as did I.....

I was actually late to the game - I saw it the first time in 79, it was actually a first date with someone I ended up living with for a couple years. I then went about a half dozen times over a couple year period, most of them with her. I love the music, and think it actually stands on it's own. She gave me the record and wrote on the sleeve "Don't dream it, be it....."

You guys can rag on me for this, but one issue I have is the enormous amount of waste that goes on at those events. I've been an environmentalist since an early age, and am big on recycle and reuse. I pride myself on how little garbage from my household goes to the incinerator(my community burns trash, supposedly safely, rather than landfill) after the recycling and composting we do. We waded through probably hundreds of pounds of toilet paper, rice, and soggy newspaper on the way out and it was disheartening to me, especially thinking about how often it takes place.

The theaters who accept to show the film expect the "garbage" as they know how much some, if not most, of the crowds gets into it. So it's not like they're unaware. Nothing against going green or recycling, but this is it's own experience. And watching it on dvd is just not the same, it's the whole experience that makes it the cult classic it's become.

And here I am watching "Shock Treatment", which is the further adventures of Brad and Janet.

Tim Curry... good in Clue, but dang he was spectacular as Richelieu.
