Crowds have been dressing up for performances of The Rocky Horror Show at Birmingham Alexandra Theatre.

Fetishly good fun and not for the faint-hearted, The Rocky Horror Show has returned to the West Midlands with a bang.

Audience members have been getting into the spirit by turning up for performances dressed as characters from the popular show.

Men in tight basques, full make-up and stilettos mince around vampish women clad in PVC for fans to be taken on a risque riot of evil alien transvestites and perverse physicalities.

The cult Richard O’Brien classic will run until Saturday.

The show returns to the region after its run at Wolverhampton’s Grand Theatre earlier this year and once again stars energetic celebrity chef Ainsley Harriott as the narrator.

It follows squeaky-clean sweethearts Brad and Janet on an adventure they’ll never forget, with the scandalous Frank ’n’ Furter, rippling Rocky and vivacious Magenta.

Tickets, priced from £19.50, are available by calling 0844 847 2388 or visit www.alexandratheatre .org.uk
