AN EASTENDERS star is the latest celebrity to join the cast of the Rocky Horror Show when it comes to Grimsby.
Sam Attwater, who plays Leon Small in the soap, will be taking on the role of Brad in the hilarious and sexy musical.
He will be joined by Roxanne Pallett, playing Janet, Philip Franks as the narrator and Oliver Thornton.
Oliver is a West End star, who has appeared in Priscilla Queen Of The Desert, Phantom Of The Opera, Les Miserables, Chicago and Starlight Express. He will follow in the footsteps of Tim Curry when he stars as the lead character of Frank 'n' Furter.
Since its first appearance at the Royal Court Theatre, in June 1973, Richard O'Brien's famous musical has become one of the world's favourites.
It has been performed worldwide for nearly 40 years, in more than 30 countries on every continent, and has been translated into more than 20 languages.
To celebrate the 40th anniversary, Christopher Luscombe created a new production for a year-long UK national adventure, taking in Grimsby Auditorium in March.
The character of squeaky-clean Janet will be played by former Emmerdale actress Roxanne, and people will recognise Philip Franks from The Darling Buds Of May. Featuring famous musical classics, including Dammit Janet and floor-filler The Time Warp, it is a theatrical adventure you will never forget.
But be warned – there are some naughty moments!
It will visit Grimsby from Monday, March 18 to Saturday, March 23, with matinees, too.
