Audience Participation

Audience Paricipation at The Rocky Horror Picture Show had its roots in the original Rocky Horror Show, which was considered an interactive experience going back to the original run at The Theater Upstairs in London. Audience members returned for multiple performances, and began singing along to the soundtrack within days of the show's opening. Angie Bowie has been qoited as saying she may have been the first to talk-back at the live performance when she screamed "don't do it" to Riff Raff, before he blasts Frank at the plays conclusion.
