[The Rocky Horror Show is] near-perfect late-night diversion: hilarious, nostalgic, flattering, spoofy, hectic, loud and daft. In fact, camp. (p. 54)

Let's Do The Time Warp Again [is] the best song in much the best collection I've heard in a rock musical. They should release the LP. And any impresario looking for someone to provide book, music and lyrics for a full-sized rock-based show should consider giving Richard O'Brien a whirl. The Rocky Horrow Show, a sort of theatrical/cinematic equivalent of Sha Na Na, is what Alex in A Clockwork Orange would call 'real horrorshow'. (p. 55)
