There’s a light over at the Frankenstein place. Richard O’Brien’s legendary sci-fi parody musical brings the party to the Peacock Theatre in 2023. The Rocky Horror Show tickets are available on London Theatre now.
The Rocky Horror Show musical celebrates all things weird, wild, and wonderful. Since the show’s 1973 premiere at the Royal Court, audiences continue to fall in love with the musical’s silliness, as well as its tributes to science fiction and horror movies of decades gone by. Perhaps ironically, the sci-fi parody became a science fiction staple — the breakout tune, “Time Warp,” a dance-step instruction song even reached number three in the Australian music charts.
London Theatre called previous incarnations of The Rocky Horror Show “creepily camp and gleefully raucous." The 50th anniversary will definitely lean into all the traditions. Expect audience singalongs, callbacks, and plenty of laughter in this joyful, expressive cult musical.
When two college kids, Brad and his fiancée Janet find themselves caught in a storm and break down outside a mansion, they find themselves at the hands of Dr. Frank-N-Furter. He’s no ordinary doctor though. The transvestite scientist reveals their new creation — Rocky Horror — to the innocent pair. He's a blonde-haired, tanned muscle man who, on the surface, is the perfect specimen. But remember, not everything is as it seems. So go in with an open mind and get ready for a night to remember.
Richard O’Brien created the original story, music, and lyrics. The actor and screenplay writer then collaborated with Jim Sharman for the movie adaptation. O'Brien even plays Riff-Raff in The Rocky Horror Show film. He's also created and starred in the Rocky Horror sequel, Shock Treatment, as well as a hosting turn on The Crystal Maze.
