Another Tuesday night meaning another trip to the theatre @bordgaisenergytheatreWhen we heard Jason Donovan @jdonofficial was gonna Frank-N-Furter in Rocky Horror Picture Show and were able to get member rate tickets, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to witness this musical again especially with Jason in the lead role.
The last time we experienced this phenomenon was over 13 years ago in the same venue for the 40th anniversary of the musical.The opening of the show with Magenta singing the iconic song /theme - Science Fiction/ Double Feature - set the tone and atmosphere for the experience to follow.When @jenzamparelli came on to the stage as the narrator, the reception she received from the audience and comedic timing and humour,She had then and throughout the show added to the experience.The cast and phantoms/ensemble were filled with such talented actors /dancers and singers which all had showcased their roles with ease and precision.At one stage during the first part of the show, when Jason broke character, it was funny as he had a bout of giggles which made Connor (Brad) lose his composure in the scree whicheveryone found so hilarious. 😂The set and costumes were on an another level in this production compared another previous version we have seen before.The clever use of different elements of the set for the different characters to make sudden appearance on stage and placement of the band above the stage.The vocal performances and acting from Connor Carson as Brad, Lauren Chia as Janet, Natasha Hoeberigs as Magenta, Job Grueter as Riff Raff, Jayme-Lee Zanoncelli as Columbia, Edward Bullingham as Eddie/Dr Scott and Morgan Jackson as Rocky who not only had the pure physical element for the character of Rocky but the vocal and acting to match too .Witnessing Jason as Frank-N-Furter was an experience filled with humour, emotion and stage presence which really helped bring the character to live on stage.It was a pleasure to enjoy and experience this musical yet again and it is show everyone should go see#musical#rockyhorrorpictureshow#dublin#tour#jasondonovan#experience#rockyhorrorshow#timewarp#sciencefiction#fun
