Press reviews:
“Mesmerising. Phenomenal. Beyond brilliant ... Rocky Horror undoubtedly ranks as one of the best productions I’ve seen in years. Scratch that - one of the best productions ever to grace the South African stage.” THE STAR
“There are so many elements to this intricately designed musical that add up to it being the hottest show on stage this season. The cast’s vocal prowess, the fit-like-a-fishnet-glove costumes, the magical stage - small yet so well utilised - and the next levels of video, animation and lighting that give a whole new dimension to what is possible on stage” WHATSONINCAPETOWN
“There's so much to love about this production - acting, singing, dancing, costumes, set, video and graphic design - that it's hard to know what to praise first” BIZCOMMUNITY
“★★★★ This slick production of The Rocky Horror Show goes old-school while using very new-school tech ... (It) sparkles with its tongue in its cheek and gleams with energy” CAPE ARGUS
“I can with great authority offer a standing ovation to director Matthew Wild and his cast and creative team ... Everything, from the seamless blend and interchange between the projected animations and the set, to the band’s tight performance, and the best choreography I have seen for this show, has been a treat” SUNDAY INDEPENDENT
