Producers Howard Panter, John Frost and Torben Brookman announced this morning that The Rocky Horror Show will return to Australia late this year with seasons in Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth.
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.

This will be fabulous! Loved it last time around, although I might have a hard time getting past seeing Dr Blake in drag!!! ?
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.
MELBOURNE!!??
Melbourne can't have everything.
What about a show in tassie?
Sydney
I hope he is coming to Sydney
What about Sydney?
Sydney ? Melbourne? ACT ?
Melbourne already has plenty of shows.
Dr Blake seems to like the outfit and role a little too much?
Loved it last time in Perth. Can anyone remember what year it was please?
I hope refunds will be available now that Craig McLaughlin is not in it anymorem he was the advertised star so no matter what has happened refunds should be available
