Oliver Thornton, Rhydian, Roxanne Pallett and Superstar Winner Ben Forster cast in The Rocky Horror Show UK Tour





Oliver Thornton, Rhydian, Roxanne Pallett and Superstar Winner Ben Forster will star in the forthcoming 10th anniversary tour of Richard O'Brien's cult musical The Rocky Horror Show. The Rocky Horror Show tells the story of two squeaky clean college kids Brad and his fiancée Janet, who meet Dr Frank’n’Furter by chance when their car breaks down outside his house whilst on their way to visit a college professor.

Oliver Thornton, most recently seen in Priscilla Queen of the Desert, will play Frank 'n' Furter, alongside X Factor's Rhydian as Rocky, Emmerdale actress Roxanne Pallett as Janet and Superstar winner Ben Forster as Brad.

The show is described as an "unforgettable adventure for them, filled with fun, frolics, frocks, and frivolity, timeless songs and outrageous outfits". The new revival, which kicks off its tour in Brighton on 17th December 2012, is directed by Christopher Luscombe.

The musical, which first appeared at the Royal Court in 1973, and was voted "favourite Royal Court Play" in the venue's 50th anniversary year, has so far announced dates at venues including King's Theatre, Glasgow (25 February-2 March 2013), Manchester Opera House (25-30 March 2013) and Churchill Theatre, Bromley (27 May-1 June 2013).

The Rocky Horror Show features musical classics including "Science Fiction/Double Feature", "Dammit Janet and", of course, "The Time-Warp".
