‘The Rocky Horror Show’ at Studio 54,

a musical journey in the 2026/2027 season

The musical highlight

‘The Rocky Horror Show’ at Studio 54

(Running until 28 February 2027)

Richard O’Brien’s musical has long been part of Broadway history. Songs such as ‘Time Warp’, ‘Sweet Transvestite’ and ‘Dammit Janet’ have achieved cult status.

The new Broadway production is playing at Studio 54, directed by Sam Pinkleton.

From 11 September 2026, Jake Shears, lead singer of the Scissor Sisters, takes on the role of Frank-N-Furter. Kevin McHale plays Brad, Lorna Courtney plays Janet, and Rachel Dratch appears as the Narrator.

For this trip, we have selected the performances on 12 December 2026 or 19 February 2027. If you would prefer to travel to New York on different dates, we will simply tailor the trip accordingly. We will plan the length of your stay, your hotel and any additional music evenings together with you.

Discover New York
The Upper West Side, around the Metropolitan Opera at Lincoln Center, is known for its elegant residential buildings, small bookshops and characteristic neighbourhood restaurants.
