For this tour the role of the narrator is being taken by a number of different guest stars.

For instance:

But if you don't fancy any of these dressed in basque and fishnets, you should perhaps
go to the Llandudno show in September when the guest narrator will be Gethin Jones.

You lost me at Christopher Biggins.

Although he can be seen fleetingly in the film version, mincing it up in the chorus line..

Ainsley Harriot makes me gag, too

If you do you've got to dress up, it is such fun

I've seen some good Frank N Furters, but none of them seem to surpass Tim Curry's original.
(I wonder if he has been drawing a steady income from it for the last 30-odd years.)

Am I, as a straight woman, wrong for finding Tim Curry curiously sexy in his basque and stockings?

Not at all Deman. I think a number of people have experienced the same thing.

I'm with you....I do like man so sure of his masculinity he can wear frilly underwear

Last time I went to see it in the theatre though was a while ago, Johnathan Wilkes (me best mate's Robbie Williams) played Frank and I have to say he was surprisingly good

hmmm now how many minutes am I away from Llandudno

I saw this at the Regent Theatre in Ispwich in 2007! Ian Lavender was the narrator..

Its sooooo good! the music blows you away. We had some bloke from Holby City as Frank N Furter....

I took my daughter and two of her friends, and one of my friends... and it was really good. I would recommend it to anyone (though if you don't want the heavy audience participation... & dress up then go to an afternoon performance)

& Re: Tim Curry....

I have just finished listening to Garth Nix's Sabriel Trilogy on audiobook... read by Tim Curry.

BEST audiobook reader ever!

Lordy that is so wrong.

My sister-in-law knows him and his family. It's like that time I mentioned I really, REALLY fancied Nicholas Cage and someone told me he looked like my brother...

It is a very odd experience when during the interval of a Rocky Horror Show performance one stands at the urinals in the gents toilets. Look right and look left and on both sides you may see a man in a basque and fishnet tights.
It fair puts one off the job in hand!

7/7/109:03 AM

DirtyprettygirlthingMember

hahaha Brisket!

my daughter was speechless when an elderly couple who were in the block in front of us stood up to dance... they had looked almost out of place... my friend had wondered if they had just popped in to watch an afternoon matinee at the theatre, unaware of the content....

but when they stood up they were both in suspenders & fishnets & heels... OAP from head to waist... RHPS fan from the waist down!

my friend & I gave them a woooop and a cheer! good on em!

Tim Curry...

Last time I saw him in anything he played the baddie Trymon in The Colour of Magic (the Terry Pratchett wotsit) and thoroughly enjoying himself.

Respect to him... he looks amazing there!

Good story Ditty

You must go see it live Leccy... as soon as you possibly can! Its mind blowing! I had wondered if it could possibly compete with the original film... but seeing it live took it to totally different level..

If anyone going for the first time to the show, I would recommend having a surf around the Timewarp website... it has up & coming dates, but also pics & reviews of previous tours, RHPS virgins guides, & all sorts...

Timewarp - RHPS Website

I agree Ditty - you must try to go Leccy.
But be prepared to throw aside your previous experiences of live theatre.
Even the audience participation (or should that be partici.........pation?) such as you get in pantomime, is quite different in Rocky Horror.
It is one of those things where you can love the film and love the stage show without one detracting from the other.
