Fresh energy

The story unfolds as a journey of transformation and self-discovery, powered by memorable songs including “Time Warp,” “Sweet Transvestite,” and “Hot Patootie”.

Stead’s production brings fresh energy to the beloved classic while honouring its rebellious spirit. Known for its devoted fanbase and interactive audience participation, The Rocky Horror Show continues to attract both long-time fans and curious newcomers drawn to its celebration of individuality and theatrical spectacle.

The production is rated PG16.
