FANS of the cult rock n' roll musical The Rocky Horror Show can join Lionel Blair in digging out the fishnets and basques when it hits the stage at the Cheltenham Everyman.

The show, created 30 years ago by Richard O'Brien, remains a perennial favourite and still packs them in, with many people seeing it time and again.

Lionel Blair joins the cast as The Narrator, with Jonathan Wilkes as Frank N Furter.

During the week-long Everyman run, all the classic songs will be featured, including Sweet Transvestite, Damn It Janet, Science Fiction and the pelvic-thrusting showstopper, Time Warp.

Jonathan has previously appeared in Godspell while Lionel is a showbiz veteran, having been a song and dance man for decades and hosted television shows.

The production of The Rocky Horror Show in Cheltenham theatre-goers will see is directed by Christopher Malcolm, the original Brad and now known as Saffy's father on Absolutely Fabulous.

The show is slanted towards adults so some of it might be unsuitable for youngsters.

It starts its Cheltenham run on Monday and continues until Saturday, October 25.

Performances from Monday to Thursday will be at 7.45pm.

There are two shows on Friday, at 6pm and 9pm, and on Saturday, at 5pm and 8pm.

Tickets are available through the box office on 01242 572573.
