Bucks County Playhouse hosts ‘Rocky Horror Picture Show’ with Frankie Grande

Fall 2025 is officially here, and for many that means it’s time to reprise seasonally spooky-themed entertainment.

One such opportunity is upcoming next month at the Bucks County Playhouse next month with Richard O’Brien’s “The Rocky Horror Show.” The production is set to run from Oct. 10 through Nov. 2.

Actor, producer and reality star Frankie Grande — stepbrother of mega-star actress and singer Ariana Grande — is set to return in the show as Dr. Frank-N-Furter after receiving critical and audience acclaim for his performances the prior two seasons, according to a news release.

Because the Playhouse does not have production rights for the show for 2026, this run is to mark the end of what’s become an annual tradition at the theater, according to the arts center. Grande’s previous productions of the show broke records at the Playhouse Box Office in 2023 and 2024.

“‘The Rocky Horror Show’ has been one of my favorite things to be a part of since we first came to the Playhouse 11 years ago,” producer Josh Fiedler said in a release announcing the casting. “As we prepare to step away from producing at the Playhouse, I’m thrilled to be a part of this show for one last time (warp).

“And, having Frankie Grande return in the role he was born to play is just icing on the cake!”For full details and to purchase tickets, you may visit buckscountyplayhouse.org or call 215-862-2121. You can also visit the box office at 70 S. Main St., New Hope, PA.
