Northwest Herald Review: Don't be scared of stellar “Rocky Horror” at Raue

One word comes to mind after seeing the debut of the Williams Street Repertory’s “The Rocky Horror Show:” Wow.
As a Crystal Lake native, I feel qualified to say this is not the type of show you typically find in McHenry County. And for that, this upstart professional theater group deserves my thanks and your support. If you want local theater to continue to push the boundaries, you must be willing to go through the door and buy a ticket. After all, seeing a Chicago-quality show for between $22 and $28 is a bargain.
About 300 people attended the weekend shows Friday and Saturday.
“We’ve been happy with the attendance,” said T. Paul Lowry, producing director for the Raue and Williams Street Rep. “We’re not expecting it to be packed right up front and the people who did show up really enjoyed it.”
