The Rocky Horror Show is the story of two squeaky clean college kids – Brad and his fiancée Janet. When by a twist of fate, their car breaks down outside a creepy mansion whilst on their way to visit their former college professor, they meet the charismatic Dr Frank’n’Furter. It is an adventure they’ll never forget, filled with fun, frolics, frocks, and frivolity.

Ore Oduba said: “I am thrilled to be part of the Halloween live cinema screening of the Rocky Horror Show. It’s been a wild ride so far on tour, the audiences have been incredible. So we can’t wait to share the fun, frolics and frivolity with cinema audiences all over the UK – for one night only!”

As audiences return to cinemas on a major scale, this fan favourite provides an opportunity for a guaranteed fun-filled night out, packed with classic songs and humour”.
