He will be joined by David Bedella playing the celebrated Frank 'n' Furter.

The irresistible riot of The Rocky Horror Show has seduced audiences all over the world for more than 30 years so whether you're a die-hard fan or Rocky virgin it's time to celebrate this infamous adventure like never before.

The Rocky Horror Show tells the story of engaged sweethearts Brad and Janet who are forced to seek refuge in a castle full of the maddest, baddest and sexiest group the world has ever seen.

Featuring the timeless classics such as Sweet Transvestite and The Time Warp this is the craziest party you'll ever go to and all audiences are in for a good time.
