The Rocky Horror Show
Richard O’Brien’s legendary rock ‘n’ roll musical returns to the Manchester Opera House as part of a sell-out worldwide tour, having now been seen by over 30 million theatregoers.
This classic musical extravaganza will star Coronation Street star Beverley Callard (Liz Mcdonald) as the Narrator, exclusively in Manchester!
She joins Strictly Come Dancing Champion Joanne Clifton as Janet and a1’s Ben Adams as Brad. West End star Stephen Webb will be playing the role of Frank and Kristian Lavercombe will also be reprising his role as Riff Raff, following more than 1,300 performances in The Rocky Horror Show around the world.
Directed by Christopher Luscombe and featuring timeless classics, including Sweet Transvestite, Damn it Janet and, of course, the pelvic-thrusting Time Warp, The Rocky Horror Show is the story of two squeaky clean college kids - Brad and his fiancée Janet. When by a twist of fate, their car breaks down outside a creepy mansion whilst on their way to visit their former college professor, they meet the charismatic Dr Frank’n’Furter.
It’s an adventure they’ll never forget...
