How to get Rocky Horror Show tickets as Jason Donovan returns for UK tour
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 stage this summer for a UK tour starring soap and stage superstar, Jason Donovan.
The Neighbours actor will be taking on the role of Frank-N-Furter at 13 UK venues starting this August including a two-week stint at the West End's Dominion Theatre. He will also be heading on to theatres in Bath, York, Cardiff and more, wrapping up in Newcastle in February 2025.
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.
During an interview on Good Morning Britain, the actor said: “It’s such a magical show. It’s a timeless classic in a way and a testament to Richard O’Brien’s simple writing and telling the truth about how people can be different and be accepted for being themselves. I think it’s a universal message and I am excited to be bringing the show back to the UK for this year and into next year. It’s exciting.”
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.
