It has been performed worldwide for over 40 years in over 30 countries and has been translated into more than 20 languages since its inception in 1973.

Director Christopher Luscombe created a stunning new production to celebrate the 40th Anniversary and this critically acclaimed version of the classic show is back by popular demand, embarking on a year-long national adventure including Bournemouth's Pavilion Theatre from Monday to Saturday.

X Factor finalist and star of the stage version of The Rise and Fall of Little Voice, Diana Vickers will star in the role of Janet Weiss alongside Richard Meek as Brad Majors.

S Club 7 star, Paul Cattermole will play the role of Eddie and Dr. Scott. Liam Tamne, who shot to fame in Series Two of The Voice, has been cast in the iconic role of Frank N Furter. Following his huge success in over 900 performances of the 40th Anniversary Global Tour of The Rocky Horror Show, Kristian Lavercombe returns as Riff Raff.

Norman Pace, one half of comedy duo Hale and Pace, is set to manage the proceedings taking on the role of the narrator.

It tells the story of Brad and his fiancée Janet, two squeaky clean college kids who meet Dr Frank’n’Furter by chance when their car breaks down outside his house whilst on their way to visit their former college professor. It is an adventure they’ll never forget, with fun, frolics, frocks, and frivolity, bursting with timeless songs and outrageous outfits.

The Rocky Horror Show is a guaranteed party, which famously combines science-fiction, horror, comedy and music and encourages audience participation and getting dressed in your most outrageous fancy dress.
