The Rocky Horror Show is a rock musical created by Richard O’Brien in 1973. For the first time in France, the production will be available in a French-language adaptation, running at the Théâtre Darius Milhaud from January 10 to February 21, 2026.
The story follows Brad and Janet, a young couple whose car breaks down during a stormy night. Seeking assistance, they stumble upon an isolated mansion, inhabited by a cast of eccentric characters led by the flamboyant Dr. Frank-N-Furter, a quirky scientist from the planet Transsexual in the galaxy of Transylvania.
The show blends science fiction with nods to 1950s horror films and rock music. The storytelling is built around a series of iconic musical numbers, such as Time Warp and Sweet Transvestite, woven into a theatrical narrative that playfully explores the conventions of the musical theater.
This French edition is part of a separate lineup from the international production showcased at the Casino de Paris. It features a different cast and is performed in the original language.
The production is directed by Xavier Le Sidaner, who also handled the French adaptation alongside Danièle Deniau. The show features an ensemble cast including Guillaume Henry, Aline Barbargallo, Julia Thévenot, Mathilde Vacaresse, and Julien Henry. They alternate between multiple roles depending on the performance date.
Running for 1 hour and 15 minutes, The Rocky Horror Show is suitable for audiences aged 15 and above. The performance begins promptly at the scheduled time, and entry is no longer permitted once the show has started.
This French adaptation of The Rocky Horror Show will be running at the Darius Milhaud Theatre from January 10 to February 21, 2026.
