Read full details
The Rocky Horror Show comes to Valletta from Friday 30 October through Sunday 1 November 2026. The stage musical parodies B-movie science fiction and horror through cabaret-style songs and camp performance, and has built its reputation on audience participation: fans traditionally dress up, shout call-back lines, and join in with props during key numbers.
The Valletta run falls over the Halloween weekend, tying the show's gothic, campy tone to the season. Audience participation is part of the format rather than an optional extra, so newcomers unfamiliar with the callbacks can expect regulars around them who know the routine. The show has run continuously since its 1973 stage debut and remains one of the most performed cult musicals internationally.
What to expect
Cult classic musical theatre, campy sci-fi storytelling, live audience participation, colourful costumes, a night of uninhibited fun and community.
