"Camp isn't really my thing, and The Rocky Horror Show is full on camp, so I wasn't as into it as many of the people around me. But there's no denying the talent and commitment of the cast, and the love-bordering-on-obsession people have for this show."

"Gracie [Anderson] rocked it as Frank with strong vocals, self-confidence, and bold intensity. In fact, all the vocals were outstanding. I love seeing the band on stage as part of the show. Under the direction of Andrew Fleser, they made it come alive."

"The entire cast performs well. Standouts to me vocally were Hope Nordquist and Cameron Reeves as Magenta and Eddie, but it is a uniformly strong cast."

"I was disappointed that despite the nontraditional casting choice of Frank little went changed. Frank is still a shown as a villain (be it a very fun villain) and an alien... seems to go against the leaps and bounds that we have made as a culture in understanding the nuances of gender identity since the show premiered in 1973."
