The ultimate Rock ’n’ Roll musical is heading to the Congress Theatre, Eastbourne as Richard O’Brien’s Rocky Horror Show returns to town, from Monday 19th – Saturday 24th September, to show us how to have a REAL party.
Seeing is believing with this sassy show and this latest tour features Steve Punt (Punt & Dennis) as The Narrator, S Club 7 star Paul Cattermole as Eddie/Dr Scott and Liam Tamne (The Voice) who will once again be donning the fishnets as Dr Frank N Furter.
For the uninitiated the Rocky Horror Show is a love letter musical to the B-Movies and Science Fiction of the 1950’s. It tells the tale of young love-birds Brad and Janet who get caught with a flat tyre in a terrible storm. Taking refuge in a nearby mansion, the home of Transvestite scientist Dr Frank N Furter, Brad and Janet are invited to meet the Dr Frank’s latest creation, Rocky!
Join Brad and Janet on an adventure they will never forget, with fun, frolics, frocks, and frivolity, bursting with timeless songs and outrageous outfits – with plenty of naughtiness thrown in this cult show is NOT for shrinking violets!
