More about The Rocky Horror Show

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, 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.
