The Rocky Horror Show has once again cemented its status as a cultural phenomenon, with the 2024/2025 tour being the most successful ever staged in the show’s 50+ year history.

Since the tour began in August last year, more than 250,000 people have seen the show, achieving ticket sales in excess of a staggering £10 million at the Box Office.

This major success confirms the show’s enduring global appeal and ability to captivate audiences for more than half a century. This latest milestone of the blockbuster tour – starring singing superstar Jason Donovan as Dr Frank n Furter – comes hot on the heels of the show’s extraordinary success in Edinburgh last month. More than 18,000 people filled the Playhouse Theatre to achieve Rocky’s theatre’s biggest ever weekly sale, taking over £750,000 at the Box Office.

As the UK tour continues throughout 2025 and into 2026, the Rocky Horror Show’s blend of outrageous humour, unforgettable songs and electrifying performances continues to attract and delight audiences of all generations around the world. A testament to the Rocky Horror Show being as iconic and beloved as ever.

The Rocky Horror Show first began life in 1973 before an audience of just 63 people in the Royal Court’s Theatre Upstairs. It was an immediate success and transferred to the Chelsea Classic Cinema, before going on to run at the Kings Road Theatre, 1973-79 and the Comedy Theatre in the West End, 1979-80.

Since the show first opened the Rocky Horror Show has become the longest continuous run of a contemporary musical anywhere in the world. The show has been seen by over 30 million people worldwide in more than 30 countries and translated into 20 languages as it continues to delight audiences on its sell-out tour.
