Why see The Rocky Horror Picture Show?
Great Scott!
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 bring the happy news to their former professor. But when they get a flat tire outside of the enigmatic Dr Frank-n-Furter's gothic castle, it looks like this squeaky clean couple are in for a night they'll never forget!
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, featuring hilarious and catchy songs such as the dance-tastic 'Time Warp', 'Sweet Transvestite' and many more. Premiering at the Royal Court Theatre (Upstairs) the original London run lasted seven years and spawned numerous worldwide productions and the beloved movie starring Tim Curry, Patricia Quinn, Susan Sarandon and Meatloaf alongside creator Richard O'Brien himself.

Come along you won't regret it. ... Read more

Rocky Horror
Every second is an absolute delight. The acting and singing top class. The energy never drops. There's no weakness in the cast at all. The live music is so good you forget it is live! I can't compare to other versions as I'm a Rocky virgin, but I know this was top-class entertainment. I would happily watch it again and there's loads of people I would drag along. ... Read more

Fabulously Filled With Everything You Desire In A Show
I've seen this show 4 times & it's honestly Outstanding. From start to finish you are captivated & invested to the MAX. It has it all & more. I took my teenage son for the first time who not only loved it but dressed up as Frank & Rocked the look. Duncan James was Amazing. My first Frank was Jason Donovan & I'm excited to see who's playing him next. I highly recommend seeing this show. The playhouse is a beautiful venue as well so get those tickets booked 🥰 ...
