Audience participation

The 25th Anniversary DVD includes a list of suggestions for audience participation.

* Rice: At the beginning of the film is the wedding of Ralph Hapschatt and Betty Monroe. As the newlyweds exit the church, viewers throw rice along with the on-screen wedding guests. During a stage performance, when the name Hapschatt is spoken, they scream out "half-sh*t!".

* Newspapers: When Brad and Janet are caught in the storm, Janet covers her head with a newspaper. At this point, viewers do the same thing with their newspapers. The newspaper seen is "The Plain Dealer", a Cleveland newspaper. Many theaters in and around Cleveland have call backs referring to this integrated into their repertoire.

* Water pistols: These are used by members of the audience to simulate the rainstorm that Brad and Janet are caught in.

* Flashlights: During the "There's a light" verse of "Over at the Frankenstein Place," viewers light up the room with flashlights, lighters, etc. Since many municipalities have banned the use of lighters and matches in theaters, cellular phones can be used. (Leading to a new wrinkle on the AP - "Show asshole the phone!")

* Rubber gloves: During and after the creation speech, Frank snaps his rubber gloves three times. Later, Magenta pulls the gloves off his hands. Audience members snap gloves in sync each time to create a sound effect.

* Noise makers: At the end of the creation speech, the Transylvanians respond with applause and noisemakers. Viewers do the same.

* Toilet paper: When Dr. Scott enters the lab, Brad cries out "Great Scott!" At this point, viewers throw rolls of Scott Paper Company toilet paper into the air and scream "Great Scott! Holy Sh*t!".

* Confetti: At the end of the "Charles Atlas Song" reprise, the Transylvanians throw confetti as Rocky and Frank head toward the bedroom; viewers do the same.

* Toast: When Frank proposes a toast at dinner, audience members throw toast into the air.

* Party hat: At the dinner table, when Frank puts on a party hat, viewers do likewise.

* Paper plates: Also at the dinner table, after Frank pulls off the table cloth, viewers throw paper plates and shout: "Not Meatloaf again"

* Bell: During the song "Planet Schmanet," audience members ring bells when Frank sings "Did you hear a bell ring?"

* Cards: During the song "I'm Going Home," Frank sings "Cards for sorrow, cards for pain." At this point, audience members shower the room with cards.

To expand upon the above.....
Hot Dogs were also used when Brad calls Dr. Frank a hot dog, these treats were thrown, but it caused for too much trouble in clean-up and unwanted guests.
We also use tampons at the end during superheros when Brad says "but down inside I'm bleeding" the call back is "could someone get this man a tampon" and then tampons are thrown.
Cell phones are now popular for there's a light because they are non-flammable and almost everyone has them.
But... comming from being manager of a cast, if your going to see a show see what their poilcies are, because not every cast and teater allows the same things to be used and thrown.
