Let’s do the Time Warp again… again!

After lighting up Theatre on the Bay since April, Richard O’Brien’s cult rock musical The Rocky Horror Show will return to the Camps Bay stage for a (very!) limited August season. 

Presented by Pieter Toerien with the Luitingh Alexander Musical Theatre Academy, the show brings all the outrageous humour and glittery glam that made The Rocky Horror Show one of the city’s theatre favourites this year.

This latest run sees Craig Urbani step back into the stilettos of Dr Frank-N-Furter, as the show follows newly engaged sweethearts Brad and Janet on a stormy night, as an unfortunate flat tyre leads them to a mysterious castle, an eccentric household and a night that spirals into temptation and transformation.

With songs including ‘Time Warp’, ‘Sweet Transvestite’ and ‘Hot Patootie – Bless My Soul’, the show remains a high-voltage mix of sci-fi spoof, rock ’n’ roll musical and late-night rebellion. No surprise it’s been a theatre favourite since it was first performed in 1973!

The Cape Town return follows the production’s earlier 2026 season at Theatre on the Bay, which opened in April and runs through until 21 May. This August run is a short one, so you will need to move fast if you want a seat.
