Richard O’Brien’s cult classic The Rocky Horror Show turns 50 this year and it heads to Norwich Theatre Royal between September 11 and 16 2023.

The hit musical tells the story of two squeaky clean college kids, Brad and his fiancée Janet.

On their way to visit their former college professor, their car breaks down outside a creepy mansion and they meet the charismatic Dr Frank’n’Furter.

It is an adventure they will never forget, filled with fun, frolics, frocks, and frivolity.

Since it first opened in London in June 1973 at the Royal Court Theatre, The Rocky Horror Show has become the longest continuous run of a contemporary musical anywhere in the world.

The show has been seen by more than 30 million people worldwide in more than 30 countries.

It has been translated into 20 languages as it continues to delight audiences on its sell-out international tour.

On its success, Mr O'Brien said: "It is very inclusive and it is very easy to watch - the characters are all so stupidly wonderful."
