After more than 40 auditions, 17 adult performers from Echuca-Moama, Kyabram, Shepparton and beyond have been selected to bring the cult classic to life embracing the musical’s legendary spirit of rebellion, transformation and unapologetic self-expression.
The iconic role of Dr Frank-N-Furter will be brought to life by Dennis Carter, supported by Zay Ryan as his muscle-bound “perfect specimen of a man” Rocky.
Darcy Elliott takes on sinister underling Riff Raff while Tamara Cadd stars as his devilish sister Magenta/Trixie.
Stepping into the roles of squeaky-clean couple Brad and Janet are Dillon Shelley and Indra Hubble, whose innocent road trip quickly descends into a night of temptation and theatrical chaos.
Adding some toe-tapping choreography is Juliana de Quilettes as Columbia, while Gerry Oman takes on the dual roles of Eddie and Dr Scott.
Completing the cast are the show’s Phantoms — Hayley Franklin, Ivy Jensen, Molli Johns, Bec Kellett, Taylah Logie, Sarah Mott, Darcy McLindon and Sue Windsor — who drive the production’s electrifying ensemble numbers.

Director Tricia Deakin, from Kyabram, said the cast reflected the heart of Rocky Horror — bold, brave and joyfully fearless.
“The standard across the auditions was incredibly high and it made the decision process extremely difficult,” she said.
“We saw so much talent come through the door, and narrowing it down to a 16-strong cast was a real challenge.”
Adding to the excitement, EMTC’s production will feature a live band on stage, fully integrated into the performance.
“By bringing the musicians into the heart of the action, we’re amplifying the gritty rock energy that makes Rocky Horror so iconic,” Tricia said.
“Audiences can expect a thrilling fusion of vintage horror, glam rock and punk-inspired design.”
Rehearsals are now under way and will continue to ramp up in the lead-up to five performances, which will be held from May 28 to 31 at Echuca’s Paramount Theatre.
