The
which has thrilled audiences across the world is coming to Buckinghamshire.

with Jonathan Wilkes |
Leading
the cast in this smash hit musical as Frank ’n’ Furter
is Jonathan Wilkes, who has recently wowed audiences in the national
tour of Godspell and also popped up to accompany best pal Robbie
in Me and My Shadow at his Royal Albert Hall concert last year.
He's
now enjoying his role in The Rocky Horror Show and told our reporter
Karen Shrosbery all about it.
"It's
a good night of fun" he says. "So don't be shy, come and
have a dance. This is not a show like Chekhov where you have to
sit and listen."
It's
not all fun and games though, it's also very hard work as Jonathan
reveals:
"It's
been absolute mayhem" he says. It's a gruelling show, but there's
no other gig in the world like it."

"Frank
'n' Furter is probably the best part ever written in a musical,
it's one of the challenging parts and the big reason that I took
it is that I wanted to do that challenge. Every night I go on stage
and I don't know what's going to happen."
Jonathan
also spoke to Karen about his recent stint on SMTV:
"I
had a great time" he says, "but I couldn't do two jobs
and I didn't want to be labelled as a children's TV presenter."
After
Rocky he has lots more TV work lined up and there is also talk of
doing a few movies. But for the time being, he is enjoying himself.
Not
too much though! Despite his showbiz friends he has to take care
of himself and not be out every night.
"Sometimes
you just have to take yourself home and have a cup of tea"
he laughs.
