Featuring an exceptional cast headed by Stephen Webb as Dr Frank-N-Furter, The Rocky Horror Show is bursting with energy and unforgettable fun.

Squeaky clean college sweethearts Brad and Janet are on the way to visit their old professor when their car breaks down in a raging thunderstorm. But when they call at the nearby spooky mansion to ask for help, they are instead plunged into an adventure they will never forget – one filled with fun, frolics, fabulous frocks and frivolity.

Since Richard O’Brien’s musical homage to the B-movies of his youth was premiered in London in 1973. It has since been seen by more than 35 million theatregoers worldwide, and continues to captivate audiences with its flamboyant characters, wild humour, infectious energy and a brilliant soundtrack of songs including 'Dammit Janet', 'Sweet Transvestite' and, of course, the show-stopping 'Time Warp'.

In 1975 it was turned into a cult film starring Richard O’Brien himself as Riff Raff and Warrington-born Tim Curry as Frank.

Joining Stephen Webb in this acclaimed UK touring production are Motherland’s Jackie Clune as the Narrator, James Bisp as Brad and Haley Flaherty as Janet. Riff Raff is played by Ryan Carter-Wilson, Magenta/Usherette by Laura Bird, Columbia by Daisy Steere, Rocky by Morgan Jackson and Eddie/Dr Scott by Edward Bullingham.

Completing the cast are Phantoms Jesse Chidera, Nathan Zach Johnson, Tyla Dee Nurden and Bethany Amber Perrins, with on-stage swing/dance captain David Peter-Brown and on-stage swing/assistant dance captain Lucy Aiston.
