Folks Mistake ‘Once Upon A Mattress’ For ’50 Shades’ Musical.
April 1, 2015
RPHS Musical Once Upon A Mattress played to packed houses! Opening night had some uncomfortable moments when some audience members thought the 1960s musical was a ’50 Shades Of Grey’ stage adaptation – and dressed up a la ‘Rocky Horror Picture Show’. Halfway through the first song, leather-clad parents were the ones who started to feel uncomfortable when the lighthearted musical started to make them sweat in their black gimp suits and assless chaps. Crouching out after they realized their mistake, the S&M crowd took to running to their cars. The flash of leather and whips had some homeowners mistakenly think that the reval company was on their block.
One parent was heard whispering, “Oh please God, don’t let me children catch me like this!”
The school administration went ballistic, stating, “Great! We just got these seats and now we have to disinfect them because of all the stains!! ANd what is that God awful smell?! Bathe people!”
Review of the show? Great!
Review of the BDSM audience? Eww!
