The Cambridge dates are from Monday 27 April to Saturday 2 May 2026, as part of the 2026 UK and world tour. Across this week, performances are scheduled on most days, giving you multiple opportunities to join the late‑night sci‑fi party.

What are the performance times at Cambridge Corn Exchange?

Show information indicates that start times vary by date, typically with 7:30 pm evening shows and possible additional earlier or later performances on certain days. When you choose your tickets, always check the exact start time listed for that performance so you can arrive in good time.

How long is The Rocky Horror Show?

The Rocky Horror Show usually runs for around 1 hour 55 minutes including a short interval. This tight running time keeps the energy high and means an evening show will normally finish around 9:30–9:45 pm, leaving time for travel home afterwards.

Has The Rocky Horror Show won any awards?

The original London production won the 1973 Evening Standard Theatre Award for Best Musical and later received a Laurence Olivier Award nomination for Best Musical Revival. Its film adaptation, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, went on to become one of the most famous cult movies ever, strengthening the stage show’s iconic status.

Is The Rocky Horror Show suitable for children?

The show has strong sexual innuendo, cross‑dressing, suggestive choreography and some adult language, so it is generally recommended for older teens and adults. Families should follow any venue age guidance, which often advises a minimum age in the early teens and that under‑16s must be accompanied by an adult.

Do people dress up and participate at the Cambridge performances?

Yes, dressing up is a big part of the Rocky Horror tradition, and many fans attend in corsets, fishnets and costumes inspired by Frank‑N‑Furter, Magenta, Columbia and other characters. Audience call‑backs, singing along and dancing the Time Warp are common and encouraged, provided you respect the venue’s rules on props and behaviour.

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

To find cheaper tickets, compare prices for different days during the 27 April – 2 May run, as midweek performances are often less expensive than Friday and Saturday nights. Choosing seats further from the stage or to the sides can significantly lower costs while still giving a fun view in a venue like the Corn Exchange.

Are there discounts or concessions available?

Ticket providers sometimes offer concessions for students, seniors, under‑16s or group bookings, as well as occasional special offers. It is worth checking the main ticket outlet and any trusted discount sellers to see if there are early‑bird deals, off‑peak pricing or group rates for selected performances.

Which seats offer the best value for money at Cambridge Corn Exchange?

Good value often comes from mid‑price seats that are central but slightly further back, where you still have a strong view but avoid premium pricing. If you are on a tighter budget, upper or side sections can be cheaper while still letting you enjoy the atmosphere, music and audience participation that make the show special.

Where can I check Cambridge showtimes and availability before booking?

For up‑to‑date showtimes and remaining availability in Cambridge, check the Rocky Horror Show event page on the Cambridge Corn Exchange website and any major ticket partner listings.
