The original Horror show is back, with Frank'n'Furter, Brad, Janet, fishnets, basques and all those time warp classics.

Celebrating it's 30th birthday, the outrageous, sexy rock n' roll musical, The New Rocky Horror Show rolls into Southampton this month.

The show is about a young couple who stumble upon the weird world of alien transvestite Frank 'n' Furter, played by Jonathan Wilkes.

Also donning high heels, fishnets and a corset is Christine Hamilton who will strut her stuff as the show's Narrator.

The cult musical is best known for the songs Damnit Janet, Sweet Transvestite and of course The pelvic-thrusting Time Warp.


It is also famous for its lively audience participation, with fans of the show dressing up as the characters, singing along to the songs and bringing props to use at appropriate moments.

A small Torch to be held above your head and swayed in time with the music.
A Newspaper use this when it starts to rain and Brad and Janet go off in search of a telephone. Marigold Rubber Gloves to be snapped in time with Frank N Furter during the creation scene.
