The Rocky Horror Show goes to Jozi

Produced by Eric Abraham and the Fugard Theatre, Richard O'Brien's iconic smash hit rock musical The Rocky Horror Show, which has set Cape Town alight for months, is set to play to Pieter Toerien's Montecasino Theatre in January 2014.

The Fugard Theatre's production of this global musical sensation enjoyed a sold out season at the Fugard Theatre in Cape Town playing to over 60,000 people. The production played to capacity houses at every performance since opening on 10 July 2013 and to meet the massive demand for tickets, the Fugard Theatre announced no less than three extensions.

The Rocky Horror Show transfers and opens at Pieter Toerien's Montecasino Theatre in Johannesburg on 24 January 2014 for a very limited 10 week season only. The production must close on Sunday, 30 March 2014.

The Rocky Horror Show, directed by Matthew Wild, has taken the Mother City by storm and has received rave reviews across the board.

The Fugard Theatre's executive director, Daniel Galloway said, "Never in our wildest dreams did we think that our production of Rocky Horror would create this sort of response from our audiences. We knew it would be popular but we were literally, night after night, overwhelmed by the incredible audience response. For some time now we have noticed a loud call from Joburg for our show to travel up north...so, here we come!"
