Rocky Horror opens for the 3rd time in Australia this year - this time round in Melbourne, to great responses and incredibly full houses. The audience is packed in the cosy Athenaeum, warming the venue despite winter approaching quickly.
Hear what some reviewers have to say about the production!
Lilithia Reviews (Grant Alexander):
'The 50th anniversary return of Rocky Horror might just be my favourite version of this musical. Everything about it is fantastic. One major call out is how diverse the cast is. Proving that it doesn’t matter what the character is supposed to look like, if you have the skills as a performer to pull it off, then you are more than deserving.'
'Deirdre Khoo is phenomenal in the role of Janet. Starting out as sweet and innocent much like her on-stage partner, Khoo exudes confidence. She is sexy and powerful, and the transformation of the character is highlighted with her own solo number, ‘Touch-A Touch-A Touch Me’ with a vocal performance that blew my socks off! Khoo is definitely the sassiest and most vocally powerful Janet I have ever seen, and she makes the role her own. I couldn’t help but cheer for her! Khoo and Jones are the perfect pair as Janet and Brad. Their chemistry is natural and funny, almost as if they have been in these roles their whole careers.'
Eddie Perfect, Actor/Writer (Beetlejuice, 9 to 5):
'...Janet, who very much becomes her OWN JANET DAMMIT is the sensational Deirdre Khoo. Far out, she sang the sh*t out of it.'
Theatre Matters (Suzanne Tate):
'The over-the-top, high-energy performance that is Rocky Horror never disappoints, and the current Melbourne show is no exception.'
'The entire cast was impressive vocally, with Deirdre Khoo’s Janet and Stellar Perry’s Magenta/Usherette particularly standing out'
What's My Scene (Karen Dean):
'This Melbourne production of the Rocky Horror Show proved to be triumphant. It showcased the enduring appeal of this timeless classic, with its unforgettable characters and catchy musical numbers. The production was a testament to the dedication and talent of the performers, who brought their A-game to the stage, ensuring an evening filled with pure entertainment and enjoyment for all in attendance.'
