Donovan returns to Scotland for Horror shows
THE latest production of legendary musical The Rocky Horror Show, starring Jason Donovan, is coming to Scotland.
The Australian pop star and Neighbours actor is set to delight crowds at the Pavilion Theatre, Glasgow, as part of a six-night run on the show’s UK tour, starting the week of October 28.
Edinburgh Playhouse will also host the cult classic for five nights next January.
Donovan will be returning to the role of Frank ‘n’ Furter for the first time in the UK for more than 25 years, and audiences will be able to enjoy famous musical numbers that have made The Rocky Horror Show such a huge hit for 50 years and counting, including Sweet Transvestite, Science Fiction/double Feature, Dammit Janet and, the timeless floor-filler, The Time-warp.
Donovan said: “I am thrilled to dive into the exhilarating role of Frank ‘n’ Furter with a fantastic new cast and Time-warp with audiences throughout the UK.
“We promise to deliver the freshest Rocky ever, that audiences will not forget. So, buckle up, as the show promises to be a wild and wicked ride.”
Before it was transformed into a feature film titled The Rocky Horror Picture Show starring Tim Curry, it first began in 1973 before an audience of just 63 people in the Royal Court’s Theatre Upstairs.
The 1975 film took in more than $135 million at the Box Office.
