THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW (1975) with Shadow Cabaret at Rio Cinema (Sat 02 May 2026)
ON SALE SOON!
Described by our audience as a “phenomenal night” of “pure chaotic queer joy”, THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW (1975) returns to the Rio with a live Shadow Cabaret Cast of drag kings, queens, and things from across London’s queer cabaret scene.
THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW is the ultimate midnight movie experience with a Shadow Cast performing in front of the film and throughout the auditorium, bringing sci-fi sex and seduction right to your seats. Audiences are centre stage. Whether you’re taking part in our Costume Catwalk (prizes for freakiest looks!), singing along and calling-back to the film, or just having a great time in the darkness, THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW is a “fun, freeing event” that thrills and empowers with its gloriously queer anthem for all: “Don’t Dream It, Be It”.
“We are stupidly proud to be doing the Time Warp again with our amazing shadow cabaret cast. Our Valentine’s Day show sold out super fast, so rinse your fishnets in the sink, and learn those call-backs, as we stuff our party bags ready for another of the Master’s affairs”.
Price of admission includes a Par-tic-i-pation Party Bag.*
Booking now. Full cast announced April 2026.
