| Description |
Simon Prast's stylish production opens with a long sequence from The Day the Earth Stood Still, the science-fiction movie referred to in the opening number. …Joel Tobeck's Frank 'N' Furter is all you could ask for in a crossdressing transvestite with a voice with a seductive edge. When he sang it was like listening to a slightly camp fallen angel. |

| Further Information |
Originally scheduled to close on 14 December. The Rocky Horror Show has broken the million-dollar mark at the box office. The extended Auckland season drew an audience of just under 30,000, almost twice that of ATC's next most successful show, The Vagina Monologues, which dragged in 18,000 punters. (NZ Herald) Kevin Smith was to have played Frank 'N' Furter, but unfortunately died. Toured Wellington.
