Rocky Horror will head back out on tour

[AnythingGoes23]

ATGs production will head out on tour again end of 2012/2013

A new frank n further is being seeker, they are giving David Badella a rest this time....

The show will mark its 40th anniversary and will no doubt come into West End for a run at one of ATGs theatres

It's already advertised (as Coming Soon) in the borchure for the King's Theatre in Glasgow.

This production needs a 'new' production.
This one hails from the the shows first major revival at the Piccadilly Theatre way back in 1990!

I was actually to say this, I do like Rocky Horror but I think it could do with maybe a revival with a new approach like Cabaret or La Cage Aux Folles.

MamasDoin'Fine: I'm not sure what you mean? I've seen several different productions of Rocky Horror since the Piccadilly production. The 25th Anniversary production (which originally starred Jason Donovan then Darren Day) was differently staged to the Piccadilly production. Same goes for the 30th Anniversary production with Jonathan Wilkes and the recent touring production with David Bedella.

The piccadilly 1990 and New Rocky Horror 1998 were different shows

This version is the 2006 tour revival that has been successful due to its minimising and low cost to run and mount.

I agree though, time for a new take....but it does work so well for tour.

Wasn't the original Rocky Horror done in a cinema after its Royal Court run? It would be interesting to see Rocky Horror staged in a cinema again like Kneehigh did with Brief Encounter and without the annoying audience participation.

For me the audience participation is an integral part of the show. It worked best in the 25th Anniversary production.
