THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW continues to play to packed houses as it tours the length and breadth of the UK and in frightfully fabulous fashion rolls into Wolverhampton at the Grand Theatre from Monday 14 - Saturday 19 October 2019, starring Strictly Come Dancing's Joanne Clifton as Janet Wiess.

Theatre audiences are certainly less easy to shock these days than they were back in 1973 when Richard O'Brien's outrageous musical The Rocky Horror Show first debuted at the Royal Court.

Shows such as Everyone's Talking About Jamie and Kinky Boots have The Rocky Horror Show to thank for elevating cross dressing to the mainstream. Despite the fact that the show is no longer radical, here's still something deliciously teasing about a show that celebrates an alternative sexual reality and the joy of grown men wearing fishnets.
