Original Australian Cast LP

The first Australian import of The Rocky Horror Show opened in Sydney on April 19th, 1974 at the New Arts Cinema in Glebe, and was the first presentation of the show outside of the UK and US. It starred well-known Australian stage actor Reg Livermore as Dr. Frank-N Furter.
Having never seen Tim Curry's interpretation of the role, Livermore gave it a completely different flair.

The show ran for three and a half years starting in Sydney at the New Arts Cinema. It moved to Melbourne's Regent Palace Theatre in October 1975 until May, and in August 1977, finished out the rest of its run in Adelaide in early 1978. Rocky Horror was very popular in Australia, and there have been several revivals since.
