THE original production of The Rocky Horror Show premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in 1973 and Richard O’Brien’s show has become the world’s favourite Rock N’ Roll musical.

It has been performed worldwide for nearly 40 years in over 30 countries in every continent and has been translated into more than 20 languages. It was also made into a film in 1975, starring Tim Curry.

To celebrate the 40th anniversary, Christopher Luscombe is creating a new production for a year-long UK National adventure which is coming to Glasgow (King's Theatre 25 Feb - 2 March) and Edinburgh (Playhouse 11 - 16 March).

In our special gallery below we preview the new show and look back at some classic Rocky Horror performances.
