The Rocky Horror Show to embark on a world tour in 2021

The Rocky Horror Show will embark on a world tour in 2021, it has been confirmed.

The first leg of the UK tour will open at the Mayflower Theatre Southampton on 4 March 2021 before visiting Oxford, Hull, Stoke, Brighton, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Belfast, Bradford, Liverpool, Richmond, Norwich, Aberdeen, York, Blackpool, Canterbury, Milton Keynes, Nottingham, Glasgow, Manchester, Plymouth, Llandudno, Sunderland and Birmingham.

The production is directed by Christopher Luscombe and will feature iconic songs including ‘The Time Warp’ and ‘Sweet Transvestite’.

Creator Richard O'Brien said: "I am as thrilled, as the parent of an irrepressible child must be when they see their offspring skipping and dancing with abandon regardless of the when, where or why of the reason for doing so, to tell you that The Rocky Horror Show will be allowed out to play again in 2021. We ALL need a bit of cheering up lately so, please, break out the fishnets and join us for the fun."

Casting will be announced in due course.
