"Some things can't be replicated or recaptured, and thanks to Fox we now know that one of them is the subversive magic of 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show,'" Neil Genzlinger wrote in The New York Times about Kenny Ortega's new version, which frames the production in a movie theater where the audience is enacting the beloved rituals.

Campy, psychedelic, and utterly bizarre, Vegas in Space is one of the first truly queer midnight movies, and while it wasn't the first film to toy with gender-bending and drag (The Rocky Horror Picture Show being a noteworthy example), Vegas has the distinction of being the first—and possibly only—cult film to feature an all-drag cast.

There is a story here also, but it feels wan and patched together — so much of the show's imagination has gone into the world building and the artisanal Americana and the stylistic flourishes, like the bloody, crunching scenes of violence set to oddball musical choices like "25 or 6 to 4" or "Dammit, Janet" (from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show").

Sure, I'd been to Veselka at 2 or 3 in the morning, or went to The Rocky Horror Picture Show live cast midnight showing by myself shortly after my 13th birthday, but it had never occurred to me that, say, half the people next to me at the bar, or in the movie theatre, or on a late-night walk were drunk, or high.
