Craig McLachlan will return the role of Frank N Furter after receiving both popular and critical acclaim in the most recent 2014/2015 Australian Tour.

“To say we are thrilled to dance the Time Warp across Australia again is an understatement,” said Howard Panter on behalf of the producers. “We’re often asked when everyone’s favourite rock and roll musical is returning, so it’s wonderful that the planets have aligned to bring Craig back to his award-winning role. This is sure to be an even wilder, funnier and sexier night out than ever before!”

The tour will open at the Festival Theatre, Adelaide on 28 December, 2017 before continuing to Brisbane in January and Perth in February.

    • I have seen him twice he is probably the best I have seen, although a soft spot for Reg Livermore. Saw him the first time around and last time in Sydney he just owns it and has an amazing voice range. So hoping it comes to NSW.
