The Phantoms are played by Meghan O'Shea, Suzanne Steele, Darren Tyler and Drew Weston, while the Swing/Dance Captain will be Nicholas Eaton.
"Sydneysiders have been flocking to buy tickets to this 40th Anniversary production of The Rocky Horror Show so we've had to open a new week of performances. We are thrilled with the response to our exciting cast for Rocky. With Craig and Bert leading this wonderfully talented group of performers, this is sure to be a wild and sexy night out," said producers Howard Panter and John Frost.
The Rocky Horror Show is a true classic and one of theatre's most endearing and outrageously fun shows. It opened at London's Royal Court Theatre on June 19, 1973, quickly developing a cult following, and was adapted into the 1975 film The Rocky Horror Picture Show, which has the longest-running release in film history. This iconic brand holds a unique place in theatre history, a show which has defied the decades and continued to grow in popularity. In 2010 the music of Rocky Horror was showcased in the smash hit TV show Glee, seen by over 20 million people worldwide. Rocky Horror even has its own postage stamp.
Millions of people all over the world have and continue to see productions of The Rocky Horror Show and sung along to classics like Sweet Transvestite, Dammit Janet, I Can Make You A Man, Touch-a Touch-a Touch Me, Over At The Frankenstein Place and of course The Time Warp.
