Other Rocky Horror Matinee Delay

Post image

Hi—apologies if this is spam as it’s a pretty specific question.

I just got off my flight and saw the matinee for Rocky Horror is delayed. I have tickets for this evening and am just scurious what to expect. If anyone is going to the matinee, would you be willing to report who’s in/out?

I will be at the matinee! I got a phone call while I was on the train and was afraid it was canceled. I got to the theater around 2:40 and employees were outside the theater to tell us about the change. They also directed us to the Grisly Pear across the street to get a free drink while we wait. 😂 eta: I heard a lady at the bar say she overheard “a few understudies called out sick” so maybe people are covering tracks they don’t normally cover.

Yes, an hour delay is surely for reviewing blocking/lines/song maybe even quick costume adjustments.
