Do you wanna go, oh-oh, to the late night double feature picture show? Here’s how.
It’s astounding! The Rocky Horror Show is returning to the West End this autumn for a limited run starring soap and stage superstar, Jason Donovan.
The Neighbours actor will be taking on the role of Frank-N-Furter at the Dominion Theatre for the fleeting time of just two weeks, before the show heads off on a full UK tour.
With stage credits that include Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Priscilla Queen of the Desert and Grease, Donovan is no stranger to the West End, or to the iconic Tim Curry part, as he played it in Sydney last year.
The actor will also be performing at Fareham Live in October, and following the announcement he said: “I cannot wait to be on stage and to open Fareham Live with the legendary Rocky Horror Show. From the very first performance in London, Richard O’Brien created a show from the wilds of his imagination with incredible music that has now stood the test of time, and an awesome energy that befits its accolades and endurance.”
In case you need reminding, Rocky Horror first appeared at London’s Royal Court Theatre in 1973, with music, lyrics and book by Richard O’Brien. It follows Brad and Janet, a newly engaged couple, who find themselves broken down in the middle of nowhere before stumbling across The Frankenstein Place – the home of the mysterious Dr Frank-N-Furter. Inside, well it’s hard to put into words, because Rocky Horror is a spectacle that needs to be seen.
The cult classic musical will also be heading to 11 other UK venues alongside its West End run. Donovan will only be appearing for the London dates, with the full cast yet to be announced.
