Producers have revealed that Mawaan Rizwan will join the West End cast of The Rocky Horror Show, which will play in London from September 6th-20th at the Dominion Theatre.
Rizwan is a writer, actor, and comedian, perhaps best known for his BAFTA-winning comedy series Juice, which he wrote, starred in, and co-produced. His other screen credits include performing on Two Weeks to Live, Murdered By My Father, and Definitely Not Newsround, and also for writing on Sex Education.
Rizwan commented on the appointment in a statement: “Rocky Horror was such a formative show for me as a performer, so I’m very excited and honoured to be a part of bringing it back. I can’t wait for audiences to experience this joyously anarchic classic once again!”
Rizwan will take on the role of the Narrator in the show and joins a stellar cast that features Jason Donovan as Dr Frank 'n' Furter, Lauren Chia as Janet, Connor Carson as Brad, Job Greuter as Riff Raff, Natasha Hoeberigs as Magenta/Usherette, Morgan Jackson as Rocky, Jayme-Lee Zanoncelli as Columbia, and Edward Bullingham as Eddie/Dr Scott.
The plot of The Rocky Horror Show follows the fortunes of fiancés Brad and Janet after their car breaks down close to the spooky castle of Dr Frank 'n' Furter, who invites them onto an eccentric adventure they will never forget.

The Dominion Theatre is a large venue with a capacity of 2083 seats and has two levels of seating. Both the Stalls and Circle sections of the venue are divided into separate blocks, which allows for good legroom and there are excellent views of the stage throughout.
The best seats in the theatre are located in the centre section of seats in the Stalls and offer the most immersive experience within the venue where you will feel completely absorbed into the production and can engross yourself in the action! Alternatively, the front of the Circle offers a panoramic view of the stage which is ideal for those who prefer to look down onto the stage from an elevated position
Theatregoers looking for value or who are on a budget searching for lastminute deals or cheap tickets to The Rocky Horror Show can find excellent value in the seats towards the rear section of the Stalls or at the ends of rows in the Stalls which still offer great views of the stage at a much cheaper or even discounted price. Seats in the Circle can also give both good value and an excellent elevated view of the stage as sightlines of the stage are clear with no restrictions.
