The Rocky Horror Show is one of the all-time greatest productions, and has amassed an enormous cult following since its inception in 1973. The spooky-tinged stage show has starred some incredible actors over the years, as well, including the international phenomenon Jason Donovan.
And this year, Donovan will be slipping back into his leather boots this year to take on the role of Dr Frank ‘n’ Furter in a special production of The Rocky Horror Show. Taking place from August to February, the iconic musical comedy will tour the country at a number of prestigious venues, including Bromley’s Churchill Theatre, Wycombe’s Swan Theatre, the Glasgow Pavilion, Cardiff’s New Theatre and many more.
Donovan will be playing the mad scientist in London for just two weeks when it arrives later this year. From September 6 to September 20, 2024, the Australian actor will be hitting the stage daily at the capital’s Dominion Theatre.

These tickets begin at just £31 per seat, meaning hopeful attendees can watch the Dominion Theatre show without breaking the bank.
This production is even more exciting as it is the first time Donovan has appeared in the cult musical for more than 25 years.

Speaking about making his comeback to the fishnets of Dr Frank ‘n’ Furter, Donovan said: “I am thrilled to dive into the exhilarating role of Frank ‘n’ Furter with a fantastic new cast and Timewarp with audiences throughout the UK. We promise to deliver the freshest Rocky EVER, that audiences will not forget. So, buckle up, as the show promises to be a wild and wicked ride!”
