They are joined by Anthony Head, one of the best Franks ever, and a host of famous names as singers and narrators. Members of the original cast - Richard O’Brien, Patricia Quinn, Little Nell and Rayner Bourton - are back together on stage for the first time. Richard O’Brien rewrote the narration, and a cast of performers was put together, some from the original show, some who have appeared in productions over its 35-year history, and other fans of the show. This 35-year anniversary concert release features the music from the show, and was recorded at the Royal Court in May 2006, to an audience of faithful fans.
