The Rocky Horror Show to make a Grand return... secure your priority seats now!

Richard O’Brien’s THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW will roar back into Blackpool Grand Theatre from Monday 11 May to Saturday 16 May 2026 for a fabulous night of fun, frolics and frivolity that’s NOT to be missed.

Tickets will fly out for the boldest bash of them all when they go on general sale on Monday 14 July 2025.

But Damn it Janet you’re in luck! The Grand is opening EXCLUSIVE PRIORITY BOOKING this Saturday 12 July for this thrilling theatrical treat just for the theatre’s 1894 Club members! Oh yes it is!

Bursting at the seams with timeless classics, including Sweet Transvestite, Damn it Janet and of course, the pelvic-thrusting, floor-filler Time Warp; The Rocky Horror Show is a guaranteed non-stop party that’s ready to delight you once again with its frothy, fun and naughty moments, much-encouraged audience participation and, of course, outrageous outfits!

Follow squeaky clean college sweethearts Brad and Janet on an adventure they’ll never forget when, by a twist of fate, their car breaks down outside a creepy mansion whilst on their way to visit their former college professor.  There they meet the scandalous Dr Frank N Furter, the rippling Rocky and the vivacious Magenta and the cute couple’s lives will never be the same again…

Since it first opened in London in June 1973 at the Royal Court Theatre Upstairs, Richard O’Brien’s The Rocky Horror Show has become the world’s favourite Rock ‘N’ Roll musical, having been performed worldwide over 45 years in more than 30 countries and translated into 20 languages.

Is it your first time? Don’t worry Rocky Horror virgins, you don’t have to dress up in fishnet stockings, suspenders and a basque! Although you will fit right in if you do… Be a sexy French maid like Magenta, sport a top hat and shorts like Columbia, dress preppy and clean-cut like Brad and Janet or go full Dr Frank ‘n’ Furter in a glamorous lace corset and high heels – it’s up to you! Or just wear something casual and comfortable for the rockiest night of your life! Everyone is welcome.

Book your seats now and get ready to dress to impress for a fabulous night of fun, frolics and frivolity! Don’t just Dream it. Be it!
