Further dates and casting announced for THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW UK tour

Producers of Richard O’Brien’s legendary rock ‘n’ roll musical The Rocky Horror Show have announced a three-month extension, adding additional dates from February – May 2025, and further casting for the 2024/25 major UK tour.

Theatregoers in 11 additional towns and cities across the country will get to be thrilled by the musical extravaganza’s extension through to May 2025. New venues include Milton Keynes, Cheltenham, Swindon, Dartford, Birmingham, Darlington, Shrewsbury, Brighton, Oxford, Richmond and Stoke.

An exceptional cast – led by previously announced singing superstar Jason Donovan - will be bringing their biggest party yet to audiences across the country. Also joining the fun is Stephen Webb, who will be returning to the cast to reprise the legendary role of Frank N Furter - having played it both on tour and in the West End to critical acclaim – at select performances and venues in 2024. Adam Strong (We Will Rock You, Disney’s Aladdin) will make his Rocky debut, playing Frank from February 2025.

Brad will be played by Connor Carson, with Lauren Chia as Janet, Job Greuter as Riff Raff, and Natasha Hoeberigs as Magenta/Usherette, Jayme-Lee Zanoncelli as Columbia, Morgan Jackson as Rocky, and Edward Bullingham as Eddie/Dr Scott.

Completing the cast are the Phantoms: Ryan Carter-Wilson, Arthur Janes, Hollie Nelson, Erica Wild, with on-stage swing Alex Hetherington and on-stage swing/dance captain Stacey Monahan. Casting for The Narrator will be announced soon.

This upcoming tour includes a limited engagement at London’s Dominion Theatre from 6 September – 20 September 2024, plus a Christmas season at Liverpool Playhouse from 3 December 2024 – 4 January 2025.

Producer Howard Panter said: “I’m delighted to announce that we are extending the 2024/2025 tour for a further three months in the spring next year. We’ve assembled a first class cast to deliver a guaranteed party at every performance, as the show continues to thrill audiences across the UK.”
