2023 marks 50 years since Richard O’Brien’s The Rocky Horror Show first hit the stage and yet, as the audience sits down at the Manchester Opera House, the air is thick with anticipation. But maybe the rain, early in the day, was to blame.
The show returned to the Opera House, Manchester, on Monday (February 21) for one week.
An almost religious experience occurs when attending a production of Rocky Horror: coats are shed and outfits consisting of corsets, hold ups and heels are revealed and an atmosphere of trembling excitement, knowing, and humour is shared between all who have seen the show before.
