Frequently Asked Questions

What is The Rocky Horror Show about?

The Rocky Horror Show is a cult rock ’n’ roll musical that follows clean-cut couple Brad and Janet, who stumble into the bizarre castle of Dr Frank-N-Furter after their car breaks down. Inside, they meet a wild cast of aliens and misfits, a muscle man named Rocky and a series of outrageous sci-fi experiments, all told through high-energy songs and cheeky, subversive humour.

Where is The Rocky Horror Show playing in Leicester?

In Leicester, The Rocky Horror Show is playing at Curve Theatre, 60 Rutland Street, LE1 1SB. Curve is a modern city-centre venue within easy walking distance of Leicester railway station, local bus routes and nearby car parks.

When is The Rocky Horror Show in Leicester?

The Rocky Horror Show runs at Curve Leicester from Monday 6 April to Saturday 11 April 2026. During this week there are evening performances most nights and additional Friday and Saturday matinees, giving plenty of chances to join the party at Curve.

What are the performance times in Leicester?

Performances at Curve Leicester are typically scheduled at 8:00 pm Monday to Thursday, with shows at 5:00 pm and 8:30 pm on Friday and Saturday. Exact times can vary slightly, so always double-check your chosen date and time when booking your tickets.

How long is The Rocky Horror Show?

The Rocky Horror Show usually runs for about 1 hour 55 minutes including a short interval. This tight running time keeps the energy high, packing in classic songs, audience participation moments and all the key scenes that made the show a cult phenomenon.

Has The Rocky Horror Show won any awards?

The original London production of The Rocky Horror Show won the 1973 Evening Standard Theatre Award for Best Musical and has since received Olivier Award nominations for revivals. The 1975 film adaptation, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, became a hugely influential cult movie musical with a devoted international following.

Is The Rocky Horror Show suitable for children?

The Rocky Horror Show contains sexual themes, cross-dressing, strong innuendo and some adult language, so it is generally recommended for older teens and adults. Many venues suggest a minimum age guideline around 12 to 14+, and under 16s must be accompanied by an adult sitting next to them at Curve.

Do people dress up and participate at performances?

Yes, dressing up is a big part of the Rocky Horror experience, and many fans attend in costumes inspired by Frank-N-Furter, Magenta, Columbia or other characters. Audience participation, call-backs and dancing the Time Warp are encouraged in a fun, respectful way, but you should follow venue guidelines about props and behaviour.

How can I get cheap tickets for The Rocky Horror Show in Leicester?

To find cheaper tickets, look at midweek performances and earlier in the run, as prices often rise closer to popular weekend shows. Booking in advance, choosing seats slightly further from the stage, and comparing options on different dates can help you find better-value tickets within Curve’s seating plan.

Are there discounts or concessions available?

Curve Theatre and official ticket sellers may offer concessions for certain groups, such as under 16s, students, seniors or group bookings. Checking for early-booking offers, off-peak pricing and any seasonal promotions can also help you secure discounts for selected performances.

Which seats offer the best value for money at Curve Leicester?

Many theatre-goers find that mid-price seats in the stalls and lower tiers of the circle offer a good balance of view and price. If you are on a tighter budget, side or rear sections can be cheaper while still giving a clear view of the stage, particularly for a show that relies more on atmosphere and music than small visual details.

Where can I check showtimes and availability before booking?

Showtimes and remaining availability for the Leicester dates are listed on Curve’s official website and on tour date listings for The Rocky Horror Show. Before you buy, check the event page for your chosen date on your preferred ticket outlet to confirm performance times and see which seats are still available.
