Get out your fishnets and prepare to do the "Time Warp"! Singing superstar Jason Donovan is back by popular demand to reprise his iconic role as the deliciously depraved Frank ‘n’ Furter in Richard O’Brien’s legendary Rocky Horror Show. As part of the major 2026 UK tour, Donovan's highly anticipated return will be a showstopping highlight for audiences in select cities.
Donovan, previously praised for his "astounding" performance by Sydney Scoop, is ready to strap on his corset and heels to bring his irresistible charisma and fearless showmanship to the role of the mad scientist. He will be starring at:
Edinburgh Playhouse Theatre: January 6 - 10
Liverpool Empire Theatre: May 4 - 9
Eastbourne Congress Theatre: May 19 - 23
Bristol Hippodrome: July 13 - 18
Producer Howard Panter is "absolutely thrilled," noting that Donovan "is a natural fit for the role, bringing charisma, wit and an irresistible energy to every performance. His return is a true celebration of everything that makes the Rocky Horror Show such a global phenomenon."
This musical extravaganza, directed by Christopher Luscombe, is a guaranteed party, famous for its infectious energy, outrageous outfits, and mandatory audience participation. The story follows the squeaky-clean couple, Brad (James Bisp) and Janet (Haley Flaherty), whose lives are forever changed when their car breaks down outside Dr. Frank ‘n’ Furter’s bizarre home.
For over five decades, the show has continued to captivate more than 30 million people worldwide, thanks to its unique mix of science-fiction, horror, comedy, and music. Prepare to sing along to timeless hits like "Sweet Transvestite," "Dammit Janet," and, of course, the "Time Warp."
Joining Donovan for the tour is a stellar cast, including Stephen Webb, who will also be playing Frank ‘n’ Furter at other venues across the tour, following his critically acclaimed West End run. Other cast members include Ryan Carter-Wilson as Riff Raff and Laura Bird as Magenta/Usherette. The role of the Narrator will be shared between comedian Nathan Caton and Motherland star Jackie Clune.
The Rocky Horror Show promises an adventure you’ll never forget, bursting with frolics, frocks, and frivolity. Tickets are on sale now from RockyHorror.co.uk—get ready for the boldest bash of them all!
