Sharing the role with Leanne, is Liverpool Legend Pete Price who will also be donning his fishnets and bringing his unique talents to the stage from Tuesday 3 to Thursday 5 December and Saturday 7 December. 

Pete Price said:  

“I’m thrilled to be taking on the role of The Narrator in the Rocky Horror Show right here in Liverpool. It’s packed with fun and a bit of madness – just my kind of thing! I can’t wait to get up there and have a laugh with the crowds this Christmas.”

Singing superstar Jason Donovan is also set to thrill Liverpool audiences, kicking off the festive season in show-stopping style as Frank-N-Furter from Tuesday 3 to Saturday 7 December.

He will then pass the fishnets on to Stephen Webb who will take over the role for the remainder of the run in Liverpool after which the show continues to tour the UK. 

This Christmas, the Rocky Horror Show at Liverpool Playhouse promises to be the wildest, most unforgettable party the city has ever seen, with electrifying performances from a spectacular cast. 

The show defies space and time as it continues to captivate audiences around the world featuring all the outrageous characters and infectious energy that has made the show a global phenomenon for over five decades.

Directed by Christopher Luscombe, the smash hit show features all the famous musical numbers which have made the cult classic rock ‘n’ roll musical such a huge hit for 50 years and counting, including “Sweet Transvestite”, “Science Fiction/Double Feature”, “Dammit Janet” and, of course, the timeless floor-filler, “Time Warp”. 

The show tells the story of Brad and his fiancée Janet, two squeaky clean college kids who meet Dr Frank-N-Furter by chance when their car breaks down outside his house whilst on their way to visit their favourite college professor. It’s an adventure they’ll never forget, with fun, frolics, frocks and frivolity, bursting with timeless songs and outrageous outfits.

The Rocky Horror Show at the Liverpool Playhouse from Tuesday 3 December to Saturday 4 January 2025 is a guaranteed party, which famously combines science-fiction, horror, comedy and music while encouraging audience participation – meaning, of course, getting dressed-up in the most outrageous fancy dress.

There is a captioned performance on Thursday 12 December at 7:30 pm, and an Audio Described performance on Thursday 19 December at 7:30 pm. Tickets are priced from £11 – £51.
