THIS site has a great prize offer today – five double tickets to the 8pm performance on Wednesday, January 22, of the new, touring South African production of The Rocky Horror Show, at the Teatro in Montecasino, Johannesburg.

To be in line to win a set of double tickets to this must-see musical, see competition entry details at the end of this story.

Since it first opened in London in June 1973, at The Royal Court Theatre Upstairs, Richard O’Brien’s The Rocky Horror Show has become the world’s favourite rock ’n’ roll musical, having been performed worldwide for 45 years in more than 30 countries and translated into some 20 languages.

The new production will run from December 6 to January 12 at Artscape in Cape Town, then from January 17 to March 1 at the Teatro at Montecasino, Johannesburg. Booking is at Computicket outlets.

Directed by Christopher Luscombe, the new production of the musical features hit songs including Sweet Transvestite, Science Fiction/Double Feature, Dammit Janet, Whatever Happened to Saturday Night and, of course, the timeless floor-filler, The Time-Warp.

The show will star Craig Urbani as sweet tranvestite Frank N Furter and Kate Normington as Narrator. Also among the cast are Anthony Downing, Marlee van der Merwe, Stefania du Toit, Zac Hendrikz, Jarryd Nurden, Jessica Sole, Usisipho Nteyi, Robin Timm and Sean Louw.

The Rocky Horror Show tells the story of nerdy Brad and his fiancée Janet, two squeaky-clean college kids who meet Dr Frank N Furter by chance when their car breaks down outside his house whilst on their way to visit their favourite college professor.

It’s an adventure they’ll never forget, with fun, frolics, frocks and frivolity, bursting with timeless songs and outrageous outfits.

The Rocky Horror Show is a guaranteed party, which famously combines science-fiction, horror, comedy and music while encouraging audience participation meaning, of course, getting dressed in the most outrageous fancy dress.

The Rocky Horror Show was transformed into a cult film in 1975, and its many stage stars over the years have included Russell Crowe, Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Jerry Springer, Jason Donovan, Meatloaf and, locally, Brendan van Rhyn and Ian von Memerty.
