It's a jump to the left, and a step to the right, with your hand on your hips, let your back bone slip into the dark magic of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Philip Franks takes on the role of narrator in the latest production of the colourful musical. He is joined in the cast by S Club 7’s Paul Cattermole and Liam Tamne from The Voice as the infamous Dr Frank ‘N’ Furter. Let's do the time warp again from Monday 14th to Saturday 19th November in Richard O’Brien’s cult classic at Bath's Theatre Royal.

The story begins on a stormy New Jersey night in the 1950s, when squeaky-clean sweethearts Brad Majors and his fiancée Janet Weiss set out to visit their former college professor. But when their car breaks down outside a Gothic mansion, they find themselves lost in a torrential downpour with only one option, to seek shelter inside… As the door is opened by the seedy-looking Riff Raff, they find themselves swept up in an adventure they’ll never forget with the scandalous Frank ‘N’ Furter, rippling Rocky and vivacious Magenta.

Directed by Bath favourite Christopher Luscombe, The Rocky Horror Show combines science-fiction, horror, comedy and music. Audience participation is encouraged - get glammed up in your most outrageous fancy dress. The musical is packed with memorable songs including Science Fiction/Double Feature, Sweet Transvestite, Dammit Janet and, of course, The Time-Warp. O’Brien’s Rocky Horror Show is the boldest bash of them all notching up its 40th anniversary. It was first performed on 19 June 1973 at the Royal Court Theatre and has since been seen in over 30 countries and translated into more than 20 languages.

In 1975, a feature film adaptation of Rocky Horror -The Rocky Horror Picture Show - was produced, with many of the original London theatre cast reprising their roles. The Rocky Horror Picture Show became a cult classic, with late-night screenings of the film and the rise of “audience participation”. The stage musical, The Rocky Horror Show, first toured to the Theatre Royal Bath in the summer of 1985.

Philip Franks has performed at the Theatre Royal Bath in many productions including Ivanov in 1989, Journey’s End in 2004, The Hound of the Baskervilles in 2008, The Secret of Sherlock Holmes in 2010 and The History Boys in 2011. He has also directed productions in the West End, and on television, his many credits include playing Sergeant Craddock in four series of Heartbeat and Charlie in three series of The Darling Buds of May. He also appeared in Martin Chuzzlewit as Tom Pinch, Bleak House as Richard, and Pie in the Sky as Giles Dutton. He played Patsy’s father in Absolutely Fabulous and also appeared in My Dad’s the Prime Minister, Foyle’s War and Casualty.

Paul Cattermole plays the roles of Eddie and Dr Scott. As a child, Paul performed in productions including West Side Story and Bugsy Malone, before landing a role in the National Youth Music Theatre which took him to Taipei, Hong Kong and New York in Pendragon at the age of 16. After graduating from Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts, Paul performed in productions of Grand Hotel and Le Cage Aux Folles, before being signed to S Club 7 by pop mogul Simon Fuller. The award-winning band enjoyed four television series and numerous UK hits.

Liam Tamne's West End theatre roles include Raoul, Vicomte de Chagny in The Phantom of the Opera, Enjolras in Les Miserables, Link Larkin in Hairspray, as well as HAIR and Wicked. Liam is best known to television viewers for his appearances on BBC1’s The Voice.

The title role of Rocky is played by Dominic Andersen. Janet is played by Haley Flaherty, with Rocky Horror favourites Richard Meek as Brad and Kristian Lavercombe - who has performed over 1,000 times in The Rocky Horror Show – as Riff Raff.

Creator of the musical wrote the book, music and lyrics for The Rocky Horror Show. He also played Riff Raff in the original production, and is well known on television for hosting The Crystal Maze. His stage, television, and film roles also include Spice World and the role of the child-catcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in the West End.

Director Christopher Luscombe’s production of While the Sun Shines at the Theatre Royal this summer, marked his eighteenth in Bath - the first being The Shakespeare Revue in 1996.

His hugely successful touring production of Alan Bennett’s The History Boys played Bath in 2010 and 2011. His staging of Bennett’s Enjoy opened in Bath in 2008, before transferring to the West End and returning to the Theatre Royal in 2010 on tour.

His 2012 production of The Madness of George III opened in Bath and transferred to the West End. His earlier productions of Bennett’s Single Spies and The Lady in the Van also played Bath. As well as The Rocky Horror Show, Christopher’s many West End productions include Spamalot; Fascinating Aïda - One Last Flutter (Olivier Award nomination) and When We Are Married (Olivier Award nomination). His RSC productions of Love’s Labour’s Lost and Much Ado About Nothing, first seen at Stratford-upon-Avon in 2014, have been screened in cinemas worldwide and released on DVD.

They transfer to the West End this Christmas following an autumn run at Chichester Festival Theatre. Christopher’s production of Nell Gwynn for Shakespeare’s Globe, which transferred to the West End and won the 2016 Olivier Award for Best New Comedy, is set to visit Bath next spring.

This UK tour follows last year’s star-studded live screening of The Rocky Horror Show at London’s Playhouse Theatre, which was broadcast to thousands of cinemas across the UK and Europe. Guest narrators included Stephen Fry, Mel Giedroyc, Emma Bunton, Anthony Head, Adrian Edmondson and Rocky creator Richard O’Brien. The performance was subsequently screened on Sky Arts.

The 2016 UK Tour of the Rocky Horror Show has now been seen by over 230,000 people, grossing over £5million at the box office since its first performance at Brighton’s Theatre Royal in December 2015.
