An exceptional cast – led by previously announced singing superstar Jason Donovan – will be bringing their biggest party yet to audiences across the country. Also joining the fun is Stephen Webb, who will be returning to the cast to reprise the legendary role of Frank N Furter – having played it both on tour and in the West End to critical acclaim – at select performances and venues in 2024. Adam Strong (We Will Rock You/Disney’s Aladdin) will be making his Rocky debut, playing Frank from February 2025.
Brad will be played by Connor Carson, Janet by Lauren Chia, Riff Raff by Job Greuter and Magenta/Usherette by Natasha Hoeberigs. Columbia will be played by Jayme-Lee Zanoncelli, Rocky by Morgan Jackson and Eddie/Dr Scott by Edward Bullingham.
Completing the cast are Phantoms Ryan Carter-Wilson, Arthur Janes, Hollie Nelson, Erica Wild with on-stage swing Alex Hetherington and on-stage swing/dance captain Stacey Monahan. Casting for The Narrator will be announced soon.
This upcoming tour includes a limited engagement at London’s Dominion Theatre from 6 September – 20 September 2024, plus a Christmas season at the Liverpool Playhouse from 3 December – 4 January 2025.
Producer Howard Panter said: “I’m delighted to announce that we are extending the 2024/2025 tour for a further three months in the spring next year. We’ve assembled a first class cast to deliver a guaranteed party at every performance, as the show continues to thrill audiences across the UK.”
