Imagine being in this cast and working your butt off only to have everyone air their vitriol at you online. Audiences don't appreciate actors anymore it seems. There's a difference between something not being done the way you want and not being done well. If you're going to be stuck up snobs about it, GO WATCH THE MOVIE. Even if you DIDN'T know that 5 of the principles were covers, couldn't you at least appreciate the performance? Because frankly, (no pun intended,) this isn't an easy show. Time Warp is freaking exhausting. I'm in a production of it at the moment as Riff Raff- and while it's not a professional production, it's still high energy and a lot of choreography. Wearing black under stage lights gets hot- which I'm seeing a lot of this cast in. With the knowledge though that 5 of these actors are covers for main roles, give credit where it's freaking due. Understudies don't get practice like the main actors, and that's hard enough. I CANNOT imagine doing this as an //entire group// of understudies together. Please appreciate actors more; we work freaking hard to do a good performance.
saw this nearly a week ago in bristol, it was my first time seeing this show i love so much live and it did not disappoint! the theatre was electric and the cast were fantastic!
@@fuzzycuddlebearthatsmells2746 No, this is in the UK. Kristian Lavercombe (Riff Raff) is actually a Welsh born actor and has done the role more than anyone in the history of the show. ^_^
@@fuzzycuddlebearthatsmells2746 This is pretty much s UK channel. So if something is "American" such as Sutton Foster in "Anything Goes" then ist because it's playing the UK. I would def splurge on this if it miraculously played in San Franciso.
@@Izzy-mv7cu ik ur just some random person (i’m assuming) but i gotta say, there was this old fella behind me and i thought like “does he know what this shows about? 😳” but he knew the words to EVERY song and it was fucking iconic. best night St. Helens has seen in years
@@thatguycalleddan1702 I watched a live streaming of the London one in a theater called the flower bowl also half this cast where fill ins bc loads got covid im going to see it live in Blackpool tho
Frank N Firter's actor is so much better in this one. He finds the right ballence of gruff and camp to completely sell the role without being underconfident and awkward or deliberately sounding posh and stuck up
@@DaisyJane09- The same Magenta in the clip, Susie McAdam, I saw play Magenta in Cambridge a couple of years ago - and she was absolutely brilliant!!!! Absolutely fantastic. Kristian Lavercombe was in that production too along with Stephen Webb as Frank N Furter. It was stunning, all of it.
Some pretty average talent here, lumbering around the stage, average voices. I feel like a parent who stayed to watch the adult class at their child’s dance recital and immediately regretted it, but couldn’t leave. Back up dancers are fine, but Magenta, meh.
Riff Raff - kristian lavercombe Magenta - suzie mcadam Frank n furter - Stephen webb Brad - ore oduba Janet - haley flaherty Those are the only ones I know
I think the original version so like the ones that are not filmed are the interactive ones,the recorded ones are for cinemas and could be brocasted on tv. That’s maybe the case??? I don’t know though
8 out of the cast of 13 caught covid the day before this (5 of the people off were the leads and the others were understudies) so it was all thrown together very quickly
