The casting has been announced for the Rocky Horror Show tour over the winter.
Coronation Street's Charlie Condou returns to the show as The Narrator, a role he played earlier in the year and which he will share with Philip Franks and half of Punt & Dennis, Steve Punt.
During the show's three week Christmas residency at the New Theatre in Oxford, Strictly Come Dancing and Coronation Street's Georgia May Foote will play Columbia, a role taken by Sophie Linder-Lee at other performances.
Linder–Lee and Haley Flaherty will play Janet opposite Richard Meek, who will play Brad.
Continuing in their existing roles are S Club 7 star Paul Cattermole as Eddie/Dr Scott and Liam Tamne from BBC's The Voice as Dr Frank N Furter. Rocky is played by Dominic Andersen.
This 1973 show written by Richard O’Brien continues to enjoy great success. The current tour which started in December last year has taken more than £5 million at the box office. The touring production has been seen by more than 230,000 audience members, many of whom will have been in fancy dress—a feature positively encouraged by the producers (as if they could stop them!).
