The Rocky Horror Show first began life in 1973 and has become the longest continuous run of a contemporary musical anywhere in the world. The film adaptation is still shown in cinemas more than 40 years after its premiere, making it the longest running theatrical release in cinema history, and its many stars have included Russell Crowe, Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Jerry Springer, Jason Donovan and Meatloaf.
This new staging introduces Adam Strong (We Will Rock You / Disney’s Aladdin) in his Rocky debut, playing Dr Frank'n'Further. He'll be joined by a sterling cast including Motherland star Jackie Clune as The Narrator and on-stage swing from Alex Hetherington and on-stage swing/dance captain Stacey Monahan.
The show tells the story of Brad and his fiancée Janet, two squeaky clean college kids who meet Dr Frank’n’Furter by chance when their car breaks down outside his house whilst on their way to visit their favourite college professor. It’s an adventure they’ll never forget, with fun, frolics, frocks and frivolity, bursting with timeless songs and outrageous outfits. The Rocky Horror Show is a guaranteed party, which famously combines science-fiction, horror, comedy and music while encouraging audience participation - meaning, of course, getting dressed-up in the most outrageous fancy dress.
Ready to thrill you with fun and naughty moments, the Rocky Horror Show is the boldest bash of them all. But be warned, this show has rude parts...
