Champion athlete and disability advocate Dylan Alcott will party alongside Jason Donovan in Sydney’s ‘The Rocky Horror Show’ run.
The international smash-hit rock ’n’ roll musical returns to Theatre Royal Sydney from late March. After triumphant seasons in 2023, the 50th anniversary world tour continues its global celebrations, starring Jason Donovan – and joining Jason and the cast as The Narrator will be tennis champion, former Australian Of The Year and Paralympian Dylan Alcott.
Expanding his many talents and achievements with a move into acting, Dylan is ready to tell the tale of Frank N Furter and his mischievous friends on that fateful night.
“Super pumped to join this incredible production of the iconic ‘The Rocky Horror Show’, Dylan says. “Couldn’t think of a better opportunity for my first theatre production, feeling very grateful. Can’t wait to get to work and rock it out on stage in Sydney!”
Returning cast alongside Jason Donovan include Stellar Perry as Magenta/The Usherette, Deirdre Khoo as Janet, Henry Rollo as Riff Raff, Darcey Eagle as Columbia and Ellis Dolan as Eddie/Dr Scott.
The tour will also travel to Newcastle where Myf Warhurst will star as The Narrator, and Melbourne where Joel Creasey will star as The Narrator.
Written and created by Richard O’Brien, ‘The Rocky Horror Show’ is currently the only contemporary rock musical to celebrate 50 years on stage. It has been seen by more than 30 million people in more than 30 countries, and been translated into 20 languages. The hit music, the characters, the freedom, and sexual awakening and empowerment, means a lot to many across all walks of life.
‘The Rocky Horror Show’ tells the story of Brad and his fiancee Janet, who meet Dr Frank N Furter – an extra-terrestrial mad scientist from the galaxy of Transylvania where people really like to party. It’s an adventure they’ll never forget.
