['Glee' - 'The Rocky Horror Glee Show]
If you're a fan of 'Glee' that's over a certain age, then you might have gone to a midnight screening or two of 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' over the years, flinging toast at the screen and yelling "Group Sex!" during 'The Time Warp.'
But even if you've never seen the movie or the original stage show, you've likely at least heard a few of the songs, so the fact that the kids in New Directions were going to do do their take on the show tonight must have had you more than a little curious. First of all, how were they going to work some of the more risque songs? And who was going to play the "sweet transvestite" Frank-n-Furter? And, of course, how were the 'Glee'-ified versions of these classic songs?
The answers to those questions added up to a surprisingly entertaining and well-rounded episode, one of the best of the young season. It had humor, plot, character development, and somehow managed to address the issue of how a public high school can even remotely get away with putting on such a production. And the numbers weren't bad, either, though it feels like the producers are leaning a bit too heavily on the Auto-Tune right about now.
Come back here for a more in-depth review later tonight, but feel free to comment now. What did everyone think of tonight's Rocky-fest?
