twitter feed from - Musical Theatre News ?@TheatreSpy Oliver Thornton, Rhydian Roberts, Roxanne Pallett and Ben Forster cast in new tour of Rocky Horror
Much stronger cast than expected - will be nice to see Oliver in the regions and great to see Ben but surprised he opted for this after his JCS success - now just need to guess who playing what part as either of the three men would make a interesting Dr Frank n Furter.
2013: The Magistrate**** Singin in the Rain***** The Phantom of the Opera (UK Tour)**** Richard III**** Dear World** Chess**** Abigail's Party**** The Book of Mormon***** A Chorus Line**** Peter and Alice***** A Man of no importance***** 9 to 5: the musical** High Society**** Priscilla: Queen of the Desert*** To Kill a Mockingbird***** The Bodyguard** The Audience**** A Little Night Music***
Ben seems a bit old for Brad and the idea of Rhydian in gold lame shorts as Rocky is actually scary - was expecting him to be the narrator. So whos playing Janet and the servants?
2013 Theatre: Loserville ***** Merrily We Roll Along ***** La Bohéme (Royal Opera House Live) **** One Man, Two Guvnors (UK Tour) * Oliver! (UK Tour) ***** Lulu (Welsh National Opera) ***** Driving Miss Daisy (UK Tour) [x2] ***** Sexual Perversity in Chicago *** Madame Butterfly (Welsh National Opera) *** High Society (UK Tour) *** Singin' In The Rain ***** The Ladykillers (UK Tour) ***** Peter And Alice ***** A Chorus Line ***** Once *** A Chorus Line ***** GHOST: The Musical (UK Tour) **** The Great Gatsby (Northern Ballet) ***** RENT - 20th Anniversary Concert ** The Woman in Black (UK Tour) ** Matthew Bourne's Sleeping Beauty ***** Lohengrin (Welsh National Opera) **** The Three Phantoms **** Wagner Dream (Welsh National Opera) * The Audience ****
Can't wait to see Oliver as Frank. I think he'll be brilliant. Ben is only playing Brad until February. No word yet on whole replace him for the rest of the tour.
Roxanne Pallet (Emmerdale, Dancing on Ice) is playing Janet.
Absolutely dreading Rhydian. Always thought Rocky was meant to be an Adonis and Rhydian is anything but.
