The 50th Anniversary production of iconic Rock ‘n’ Roll musical The Rocky Horror Show brought the party to London’s Peacock Theatre with a spectacular celebratory evening in support of Amnesty International UK.
VIPs and Rocky fans donned their favourite fishnets and suspenders and headed up the red carpet for the show’s hotly anticipated return to the Capital.
Narrators on the night included original cast members Little Nell (original Columbia) and Rayner Bourton (original Rocky), special guests Steve Pemberton and Brian Cox, and Rocky alumni David Bedella, Philip Franks and Jackie Clune.
More members of the original cast were brought onto the stage at the end including Patricia Quinn (original Magenta), Paddy O’Hagan (original Eddie/Dr Scott) and Belinda Sinclair (original Janet).
Needless to this, this was an historic night and one almighty birthday bash!
