Dust off your corset, strap on your heels, and get ready to Time Warp like it’s 1973. After a 15-year hiatus, The Rocky Horror Show is back. The musical, written 50 years ago by New Zealand national treasure Richard O’Brien, stars a phenomenal West End cast. This high-energy stage spectacular features all the catchy songs you know and love: Sweet Transvestite, Dammit Janet, and the pelvic-thrusting, showstopper Time Warp.
The show follows two squeaky-clean college kids, Brad and Janet. The couple find themselves stranded outside a mysterious mansion. Inside awaits the fabulous and flamboyant Dr Frank’n’Furter, and a wild adventure full of fun, frolics, frocks, and frivolity.
The Rocky Horror Show is the longest continuously running contemporary musical in the world. It has thrilled over 35 million theatregoers, been staged in 30 countries, and translated into 20 languages. Get dressed up, let loose, and be your fabulous self at the biggest glitter-soaked party in town.
“Still the sexiest and funniest show in town.”
