There is a ‘semi-official’ audience participation script which is available - I had a copy issued to me at a late-night screening of ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’ at my local art house cinema many years ago. It gave verbal interactions with the spoken dialogue and physical direction (like brushing away the fog in a screen dissolve, squirting water pistols during a rainy scene, and throwing rice at a wedding). With many of the audience dressed as characters, it was quite the experience..

I saw the original stage show in London 1973. A college pal, a girl, had seen it and raved about it. I and a couple of others took her at her word and we all went. I have to admit I liked it but couldn’t see the point and thought it would never succeed beyond the student types and weirdos that were attending.

We’ve seen quite a few stage Rockys & watched the film innumerable times.
I felt the same on my first ever viewing way back, but eventually (doesn’t take too long) the part-ici…pation will get ya! Promise!

“The Babel Fish is a bizarre animal. It feeds off external brainwaves then excretes an interpretation, the practical upshot of which is that if you stick one on your ear, you can understand anything said to you in any language in the universe.
The chances of anything so mind-bogglingly useful occurring by mere chance has led many thinkers to take this to be the final and clinching proof of the non existence of god.
The argument goes like this:
“I refuse to prove that I exist” says god “because proof denies faith and without faith I am nothing”.
‘Ah” says Man. “But the Babel Fish is a dead giveaway. It proves you exist and so therefore you don’t".
“Oh dear I hadn’t thought of that” says god and promptly disappears in a puff of logic.
“Oh, that was easy” says man, who then goes on to prove that black is white and gets killed on the next zebra crossing.”

And here’s me thinking Immanuel Kant was a real pissant, who was very rarely stable!

Apologies for pedantry but that should be Heidegger as in Martin Heidegger the ontological pluralist. I’ll get my coat…
