More dates have been added to the ever-expanding UK & Ireland tour of The Rocky Horror Show, with the cult musical now set to run well into 2026.
The new stops include major regional venues such as Sunderland Empire (19–24 January 2026), Churchill Theatre Bromley (9–14 February 2026), Curve Leicester (6–11 April 2026), and Alexandra Theatre Birmingham (6–11 July 2026) among others.
The show is also off on a European jaunt in the autumn, playing Palma de Mallorca (16—19 October 2025), Barcelona (23 October—2 November 2025), Milan (18—23 November 2025) and Rome (25—30 November 2025).
The long-running tour has already played to more than 250,000 theatregoers.
Adam Strong is starring as Frank N Furter across many of the UK tour dates. Jason Donovan, who returned to the production in Manchester last month, reprises his role as Dr Frank-N-Furter in several cities, including current stop, Leeds, and Swansea (select performances), London Wimbledon, Norwich, Nottingham and Dublin.
Frank N Furter casting for many of the new 2026 dates is to be announced.
The show currently also stars Lauren Chia as Janet; Connor Carson as Brad; Job Greuter as Riff Raff; Natasha Hoeberigs as Magenta / Usherette; Jayme-Lee Zanoncelli as Columbia; Morgan Jackson as Rocky; Edward Bullingham as Eddie / Dr. Scott; and Nathan Caton as the Narrator.
The Phantoms are Ryan Carter-Wilson, Arthur Janes, Hollie Nelson, and Erica Wild. The Swings are Alex Hetherington and Stacey Monahan.
First staged in 1973, Richard O’Brien’s gender-bending rock musical remains a crowd favourite with its blend of glam, horror and camp. Audiences can expect all the iconic songs – including “Sweet Transvestite”, “Dammit Janet” and “The Time Warp” – performed with the same anarchic energy that has defined the show for over half a century.
Directed by Christopher Luscombe, this current tour is reported to be the most successful in the show’s history, with ticket sales exceeding £10 million at the UK box office. The creative team also includes designer Hugh Durrant, costume designer Sue Blane, choreographer Nathan M. Wright, lighting designer Nick Richings and sound designer Gareth Owen.
As ever, the story centres on squeaky-clean couple Brad and Janet, whose car breaks down one fateful night near the castle of the flamboyant Dr Frank-N-Furter. What follows is a surreal and subversive musical adventure, steeped in sci-fi references, sexual awakening and high-octane rock ’n’ roll.
Since its premiere, The Rocky Horror Show has been performed in over 30 countries and translated into 20 languages, becoming the longest-running contemporary musical in the world.
