Prop guide

Newspapers: When Brad and Janet are caught in the storm, Janet covers her head with a newspaper The "Plain Dealer." Likewise cover your head

Water Pistols: These are used to simulate the rainstorm that Brad and Janet are caught in. (Now you see why you should use the newspapers?)

Flashlights: During the “There's a light” verse of “Over at the Frankenstein Place,” you should light up the theater with flashlights, cellphones, glow sticks, etc. NO FLAMES (you will be removed from the theatre).

Noisemakers: At the end of the creation speech, the Transylvanians respond with applause and noisemakers. You should do the same.

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

Bubbles: At the end of the "Charles Atlas Song" reprise, the Transylvanians toss roses petals and streamers as Rocky and Frank are married. You should blow bubbles!

Toilet paper: When Dr. Scott enters the lab, Brad cries out "Great Scott!" At this point, you should hurl rolls of toilet paper air (preferably Scotts). NO THROWING AT THE STAGE.

Party Hat: No dinner, but you can wear anytime!

Bell: During the song “Planet Schmanet Janet,” ring the bell when Frank sings “Did you hear a bell ring?”
