Fans of the Rocky Horror Show have just three weeks left to wait until they can catch the cult stage show at Storyhouse in Chester. Richard O’Brien’s Rocky Horror Show continues to play to packed houses as it tours the length and breadth of the UK throughout 2019 featuring a wealth of star performers.
The Rocky Horror Show comes to Storyhouse from Monday 16 September to Saturday 21 September 2019 for eight performances only, including early evening shows on Friday and Saturday at 5.30pm. Group discounts are available Monday to Thursday.
Strictly star Joanne Clifton continues her role as Janet, and she will be joined by James Darch as Brad.
The Narrator will be played by actor Philip Franks, fondly known for his TV roles in The Darling Buds Of May, Heartbeat, Absolutely Fabulous, Foyle’s War, and Midsomer Murders. The legendary musical extravaganza also stars West End star Stephen Webb as Frank ‘N’ Furter, and Kristian Lavercombe reprises his role as Riff Raff following more than 1,500 performances around the world.
Actor, writer and TV presenter Richard O’Brien penned the Rocky Horror Show musical in 1973. He later co-wrote the screenplay for film adaptation The Rocky Horror Picture Show. The film was released in 1975, and Richard starred as Riff Raff. He also went on to win another legion of fans when he presented cult 1990s television show The Crystal Maze.
The Rocky Horror Show 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 favourite college professor. It’s an adventure they’ll never forget with fun, frolics, frocks, and frivolity – bursting with timeless songs and outrageous outfits.
In 2015, as part of a sold-out season at London’s Playhouse Theatre, a special star-studded gala charity performance in aid of Amnesty International was broadcast to over 600 cinemas across the UK and Europe. The live screening featured a host of celebrities playing The Narrator, including Stephen Fry, Mel Giedroyc, Emma Bunton, Ade Edmondson, Anthony Head and Richard O’Brien – it smashed box office records and was the biggest grossing film in cinemas across the UK. The performance was subsequently screened on the Sky Arts channel.
