Glaswegians will find a second use for their Hallow'een costumes this week as Richard O' Brien's Rocky Horror Show makes a welcome return to the King's Theatre.

It’s been 2 years since Rocky Horror visited Glasgow and, at 36 years young, this show doesn’t seem to be showing any signs of age yet! The openly sexual nature of the characters and the storyline were so far ahead of their time when the show opened to a tiny London audience in 1973 that today they still appear fresh and relevant.  Director, Christopher Luscombe, and set designer, Janet Bird, added fresh elements to the show a few years back and this latest cast bring their own energy and life to the well loved characters.  The tradition of audience interaction with the cast ensures that no two performances are the same!!

David Bedella simply owns the role of Frank 'N' Furter.  He brought all of his experience of a US national tour (with Meatloaf, no less) to bear in his portrayal of musical theatre's most recognisable character.  He had an astonishing rapport with the audience.  Christopher Biggins embraced his role as the Narrator, comfortably staying one step ahead of an audience who were, at times, a little over excited!  “It was over, but what was over?” asked Mr. Biggins.  “Your career”, answered the audience.  “You must be mistaking me for Katie Price”, he retorted.  Mark Evans (Brad) and Haley Flaherty (Janet) were vocally accomplished and carried the story well.

This is a great production of an excellent show and Glasgow audiences have been given another chance to catch it.  Don’t miss out!
