Over the last month of this past summer, a new musical was exciting everyone involved with the Atlanta theatre community. However, it wasn't playing at the Alliance, or Actor's Express, or Serenbe, or at any other theatre really; instead THE LAST TIME WE WERE HERE played two nights at a Java Monkey Café, and, in a private concert version, in the Aurora Theatre's black box.

I am quite aware that this will sound sacrilegious to many who read this review, but until I saw Actor's Express' titillating production of THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW, I had never seen the musical before. I have a vague recollection of watching the film version on VH1's 'Movies That Rock' at some point in the mid-90's, but other than seeing Susan Sarandon in her underwear, it didn't do much to interest me. So, as I made my way to the King Plow Arts Center, I expected to be impressed by the tremendous young talents in the cast, but what I didn't expect was to be transported to another world of naughty, musical theatre ecstasy.
