Great, if only they had all the songs...., 11 April 2001

This review is from: The Rocky Horror Show (Audio CD)
The Australian cast of the Rocky Horror Show kicked arse, I LOVED their version of Rose Tint My World, it was even better than the original Roxy cast or the movie!! And Reg Levermore's Sweet Transvestite was to die for! I just wish they had the full score for the show, I would love to see what they did with Science Fiction Double Feature, Superheroes, Toucha Toucha Touch Me (especially with the MARVELOUS Janet they had), and Charles Atlas Song (along with a lot of other RHS songs, but this isn't a review to test my Rocky knowledge, now is it?). What I liked the most is that with a lot of musicals I've noticed if I get a cast recording from the 70s, the actors seem a little more inhibited than in a revival cast. But with this one, they just said "to heck with that" and did the songs in their raunchy entirety, which is what you gotta do with Rocky Horror! I honestly thought at first the cast was from the 90s or something. Despite its song lackage, this is definitely an asset to anyone's Rocky Horror collection.

Not actually the "original" cast, 22 Sep 2006

Just a quick note to point out that this is not the *original* Australian cast album. The original Australian cast (1974) featured Reg Livermore, Kate Fitzpatrick, Arthur Dignam, John Paramor, Jane Harders and others I can't remember.
I saw both casts in the original run and can testify that they're both fantastic. But i guess because he's the first one I heard (and I must have worn out the album), Reg Livermore's Frank'n'Furter has always been "the one".

I rated this recording a four only because of the scarcity of songs. Daniel Abineri is absolutly sensational as Frank-N-Furter. The best since TC. The other performers are great as well. This CD is well worth the price.
