Toucha, Toucha, Toucha
RIP to the The Rocky Horror Show Broadway Revival. It was one of the most mind-blowing things I had ever seen on stage. I am not sure if it is a case of Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead wherein I was so obsessed with it upon initial consumption I am unable to assess an accurate review open maturity.
