BBC Three Juice star Mawaan Rizwan will make his musical theatre West End debut in The Rocky Horror Show.
The BAFTA winning actor, comedian and writer joins Jason Donovan at the Dominion Theatre this September, playing the Narrator in the hit musical comedy.
Mawaan Rizwan is best known for writing and starring in the hit BBC Three comedy Juice. The show follows the life of a young gay man who craves being the centre of attention but is continually upstaged by his family.
Mawaan said: “Rocky Horror was such a formative show for me as a performer, so I’m very excited and honoured to be a part of bringing it back. I can’t wait for audiences to experience this joyously anarchic classic once again!”
Richard O’Brian’s cult comedy musical returns to the Dominion Theatre from 6 – 20 September 2024 as part of a major national tour which begins performances at the Churchill Theatre in Bromley on 19 August 2024. See here for full tour schedule.
