Frequently Asked Questions

What is The Rocky Horror Show about?

The Rocky Horror Show follows squeaky-clean couple Brad and Janet, whose car breaks down and leads them to the spooky mansion of Dr Frank‑N‑Furter.

Where is The Rocky Horror Show playing in Chester?

In Chester, The Rocky Horror Show is playing at Storyhouse Theatre, Hunter Street, CH1 2AR. Storyhouse is a combined theatre, cinema and library in the city centre, close to Chester Cathedral, bus routes and parking.

When is The Rocky Horror Show in Chester?

The Chester run is from Tuesday 30 June to Saturday 4 July 2026 as part of the 2026 UK and world tour. Performances take place across these dates, giving you several opportunities to catch the show while it is in the city.

What are the performance times in Chester?

Storyhouse listings show evening performances, typically at 7:30 pm, on the dates between 30 June and 4 July. Some schedules only list one performance per day, so it is important to check the exact time for your chosen date when you book.

How long is The Rocky Horror Show?

The Rocky Horror Show in Chester has a running time of about 2 hours including an interval. This makes it a lively but manageable evening out, leaving time to eat before or after the show or travel home comfortably afterwards.

Has The Rocky Horror Show won any awards?

The original London production ran for almost 3,000 performances and won the 1973 Evening Standard Theatre Award for Best Musical. Later productions have received multiple Tony Award nominations, and the film adaptation has been recognised by the National Film Registry and other honours for its lasting cult impact.

Is The Rocky Horror Show suitable for children?

The show includes strong sexual innuendo, revealing costumes, cross‑dressing, adult language and suggestive choreography, so it is aimed at older teens and adults. Storyhouse lists an age recommendation of 12+, and under‑16s should attend with an accompanying adult who is aware of the mature themes and content.

Do people dress up and participate at the Chester performances?

Yes, dressing up and audience participation are a big part of the Rocky Horror tradition at Storyhouse. Many fans arrive in corsets, fishnets and character‑inspired outfits, and you can expect call‑backs, singing along and dancing the Time Warp, as long as you follow the venue’s guidance on props and respectful behaviour.

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

To find cheaper tickets, look at weekday performances during the 30 June – 4 July run, which often start at lower prices than peak weekend seats. Booking early, choosing seats a bit further from the stage, and comparing options across different performances can help you stay within budget while still enjoying a good view.

What ticket prices and membership options are available at Storyhouse?

Storyhouse lists member ticket prices from around the mid‑£20s, with non‑member prices from the high‑£20s up to around the mid‑£40s plus a small booking fee. Joining as a member can offer slightly lower prices, priority booking and access to other events, which may be worthwhile if you attend Storyhouse regularly.

Which seats offer the best value for money at Storyhouse Theatre?

Mid‑priced seats in the main auditorium, such as central stalls or lower circle areas, often provide a strong balance of view and cost for Rocky Horror. If you need to save more, side or rear sections can be cheaper while still giving a clear view of the stage, especially for a big, music‑driven, audience‑interactive show.

Where can I check Chester showtimes and availability before booking?

Up‑to‑date showtimes and remaining availability for the 30 June – 4 July 2026 run are listed on Storyhouse’s event page and major ticket listings for The Rocky Horror Show. Before buying, confirm the date, start time and seat location for your chosen performance so your tickets fit your travel plans and budget.
