Thomas Howells previews the 50th anniversary tour of The Rocky Horror Show playing Cardiff’s New Theatre.
The 50th anniversary of The Rocky Horror Show is coming up in 2023, and it’s going to be a huge event. The production is based on the cult classic movie of the same name, and it’s been seen by millions of people around the world. I saw it last year and I loved it – it’s definitely one of my favourite musicals.
This celebratory tour is already thrilling audiences across the UK and will be stopping at the New Theatre in Cardiff from the 10th to 15th of April 2023. The cast is ready to deliver an unforgettable party that you won’t want to miss.
Howard Panter, producer of The Rocky Horror Show, says that he’s thrilled the show continues to entertain audiences, and he looks forward to the next 50 years!
Richard O’Brien says that when he performed at the EMI Film Studios’ Christmas party in the 1970s, he performed a song called “Science Fiction Double Feature.” O’Brien is thrilled that The Rocky Horror Show is still being enjoyed by audiences fifty years later, and credits the show’s success to its consistent popularity.
The Rocky Horror Show is a musical that takes place on a deserted island and features wild and outrageous party scenes. It is perfect for college students who love to have a good time.
Many famous actors have appeared in The Rocky Horror Show over the years, including Russell Crowe, Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Jerry Springer, Jason Donovan, and Meatloaf. In 2015, a special charity performance was broadcast to over 600 cinemas across the UK and Europe, and it smashed box office records. The performance will be screened on the Sky Arts channel in the future.
Looking for a wild and fun night out? The Rocky Horror Show is the perfect show for you! But be warned: participation is mandatory!
