TV and theatre star Jason Donovan to thrill in Rocky Horror Show at Wycombe Swan

TV and theatre star Jason Donovan is set to thrill audiences at the Wycombe Swan later this year when the Rocky Horror Show comes to town.

Donovan will be donning his fishnets for audiences at the Swan between 27 to 31 August, as he reprises the role of Dr Frank ‘n’ Furter – a crossdressing mad scientist.  

The Rocky Horror Show tells the story of two squeaky clean college kids who meet Dr Frank ’n’ Furter and are swept up into the scientist’s latest experiment.

Jason Donovan said: "I am thrilled to dive into the exhilarating role of Frank 'n' Furter with a fantastic new cast and Timewarp with audiences throughout the UK.

“We promise to deliver the freshest Rocky EVER, that audiences will not forget.

“So, buckle up, as the show promises to be a wild and wicked ride."

The hit show, directed by Christopher Luscombe, features all the famous musical numbers which have made The Rocky Horror Show popular for 50 years and counting.

Famous tunes include: Sweet Transvestite, Science Fiction/Double Feature, Dammit Janet and The Time-Warp.

The Rocky Horror show began showings in 1973 to an audience of just 63 people, but has since gone on to have global success – and being made into a film in 1975.

The performances at Wycombe Swan are part of a wider tour as the show arrives on UK shores following a sellout run at the Theatre Royal, Sydney, Australia.

Tickets are available from £10 with more information available at www.rockyhorror.com

Donovan is not expected to perform at the Swan for the August 30 showing.
