The Rocky Horror Picture Show - Sydney Season Return (NSW)

Written and created by Richard O’Brien.

Theatre Royal, Sydney

Until 12th May, 2024

The Rocky Horror Picture Show returns with as much zest, sex appeal and energy as the now 50-year-old show can muster, and it continues to pay off in spades!

This time around, tennis all-star Dylan Alcott and Australian comedian, Peter Helliar will be sharing the role of The Narrator in seperate performances. Alcott will be starring in this role up until April 17th, with Helliar taking over from April 18th - May 5th. Will there be a surprise guest stepping in for the rest? Let's wait and see!

The Theatre Thoughts team sent along our reviewer, Juliana, to attend the Sydney return and some of her thoughts are below:

Dylan Alcott has a ball as the narrator, and shows that anyone can do theTime Warp, even on wheels!

Jason Donovan is a worthy, hilarious and full throated Frankie, paying full tribute to Tim Curry while making the role his very own

The cast seemed to be having as much fun as the audience!

The live band was pacy, racy and played up a storm for the well known numbers.

In lieu of writing a third review, instead we've compiled our two previous reviews below as well as.a preview of what audiences can expect from the Sydney season return of Richard O'Brien's classic.
