Why See The Rocky Horror Picture Show?

MusicalsStars on StageStrictly Limited Runs

Great Scott!

Gird your loins and grab your fishnets London, because The Rocky Horror Picture show is back in the West End for a limited time only. With Strictly's Ore Oduba reprising his role as Brad Majors alongside Stephen Webb as Frank 'n' Furter, Haley Flaherty as Janet and Kristian Lavercombe as Riff Raff (who to date, has clocked up over 2000 performances as the Transvylanian butler!)

A true cult classic, The Rocky Horror Picture show is the story of Brad and Janet, two recently engaged college kids who head off on a road trip to tell their old professor the news in person. But disaster strikes when they get a flat tyre in the middle of the night and have to call for help. Luckily for them salvation comes in the form of the enigmatic and very mad scientist Doctor Frank-N-Furter and his trusty band of servants and very strange hangers-on, who've gathered for a very special purpose...

It's just a jump to the left

First running all the way back in 1973, Rocky Horror is an affectionate parody of Sci Fi and horror B movies of the 1950s with hilarious and catchy songs such as the dance-tastic 'Time Warp', 'Dammit Janet', and many more. Premiering at the Royal Court Theatre (Upstairs) the origInal London run lasted 7 years and spawned numerous worldwide productions and the beloved movie starring Tim Curry, Patricia Quinn, Susan Sarandon, and Meatloaf alongside creator Richard O'Brein.

What we thought

shiver In ANTICIPATION

All of the cast deliver stellar results but even with the muscled and oiled Dominic Anderson as hunk Rocky, it's septuagenarian O'Brien who elicits the loudest reaction.

​Great Scott! Rocky Horror is back in the West End for a limited run with creator Richard O'Brien in the driving seat once more, though, down to age I imagine, he has taken the role of the omnipresent narrator, rather than his more energetic butler

Brad Seiler: “Almost perfect”

I've seen 17 of these and this narrator was even better than Nicolas Parsons!... more
