===UK productions===
''The Rocky Horror Show'' has toured the United Kingdom regularly since the 1990–91 West End revival at the [[Piccadilly Theatre]] in productions produced by [[Christopher Malcolm]]'s, [[Richard O'Brien]]'s and [[Howard Panter]]'s ''Rocky Horror Company''. Notable celebrities have been cast including [[Daniel Abineri]], [[Peter Blake (actor)|Peter Blake]], [[Tim McInnerny]], [[Anthony Head]], [[Robin Cousins]], [[Jason Donovan]] and [[Jonathan Wilkes]] as Frank-N-Furter, [[Gina Bellman]] as Janet Weiss, [[Edward Tudor-Pole]] as Riff Raff and TV's [[Craig Ferguson]] and [[Adrian Edmondson]] as Brad Majors, [[Kate O’Sullivan]] as Magenta/Usherette.

Throughout the 90's and into the 00's it evolved and emerged as the behemoth touring show that it is thanks to the dedication of [[Christopher Malcolm]] who also directed several productions in the UK, Germany, South Africa and Buenos Aires amongst others.

'''''Richard O'Brien's Rocky Horror Show''''' completed its 2006–2007 tour on 14 July 2007 in Woking, Surrey after touring for almost eighteen months. The tour was directed by Christopher Luscombe and featured [[David Bedella]] as Frank. The 2006 tour cast, accompanied by [[Roger Lloyd-Pack]] as the Narrator and author O'Brien, performed "[[Time Warp (song)|The Time Warp]]" live in Trafalgar Square on 22 July 2006 as part of ''The Big Dance'' event and was broadcast on BBC1's ''Dancing in the Street''. In 2008 David Bedella released his first album ''The Dean St. Sessions'', produced by Nathan Amzi, which included a duet with O'Brien singing "I'm Going Home" as a bonus video.

In March 2009, the show returned with a new UK tour starting in the autumn. With Christopher Luscombe returning as the director, the tour was a revival of the 2006–2007 production with some adjustments to the direction, lighting, choreography, costumes and musical arrangements. The tour opened on 17 September 2009 at the [[New Wimbledon Theatre]] and closed on 4 December 2010 at the newly opened [[Aylesbury Waterside Theatre]].

The first leg of the tour ran from September 2009 to July 2010 with a short break over the Christmas period. David Bedella reprised his role as Frank. The second leg of the tour began on 1 September 2010 at the [[New Victoria Theatre]], [[Woking]] with several changes to the cast. During the UK tour's summer break director Christopher Luscombe and the show's creative team recreated the UK production in [[Seoul]], [[South Korea]] with a new cast of American, Australian and New Zealander actors and local celebrities as the Narrator. The production played from August until October 2010 before a five-week [[New Zealand]] tour in November and December with Richard O'Brien making a rare appearance as the Narrator.

====German productions====
In 1980, two different interpretations of the musical were staged in Germany.

In 1980 director [[Walter Bockmayer]], released The Rocky Horror Show in Essen as a German premiere, which opened on 20 January 1980 at the Grillo-Theater. This production deviated greatly from the original London productions in regards to characterisation, costuming and set design. Instead of the morbid castle Bockmayer's extravagant design set his lustful Transylvanians in a sterile hospital on time travel.<ref>{{Cite journal |date=1980 |title=The Rocky Horror Show in Essen. |journal=Theater Heute |volume=21 |page=20}}</ref>

Frank-N-Furter was played by the American guest star Decoven C. Washington, who thus became the first black man to embody the main antagonist.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Jansen |first=Wolfgang |title=Cats & Co. Geschichte des Musicals im deutschsprachigen Theater. |publisher=Henschel |year=2008 |isbn=978-3894875848}}</ref> The cast also featured Rotraut Rieger as Janet Weiss, Detlev Greisner as Brad Majors, Fritz Brieserheister as Riff-Raff, Jutta Bryde as Magenta, Sue Hürzeler as Columbia, Yoyo Petit as Eddie, Manfried Hilbig as Dr. Scott, Till Krabbe as Rocky Horror, Siegfried Wittig as Narrator, and Helmut Fülberth as Usherette.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Essen Germany Cast: Die Rocky Horror Show (Live in Deutscher Sprache), Photos and Recordings - 1980 |url=http://www.rockymusic.org/album/german.php |website=www.rockymusic.org}}</ref>

The second was a production imported from England by producer Cameron Mackintosh, which ran briefly in October/November. The show was supposed to have an extensive run, but a lack of co-operation from the German producers saw Mackintosh pull the show after only a few weeks.<ref name="ozrockyhorror4">{{Cite book |url=http://www.ozrockyhorror.com/Programme%201980%20Germany.html |title=Programme Brochure |work=Akiba präsentiert: Die Londoner Original Inszenierung, Programme Brochure |year=1980}}</ref> Mackintosh's production primarily featured a cast of English actors, which included [[Jeff Shankley]] as Frank-N-Furter, [[Philip Bretherton]] as Brad, Perry Bedden (a cast member from the film adaptation of ''Rocky Horror'') as Riff-Raff, [[Trevor Byfield]] as Eddie/Dr. Scott, and [[Nicholas Courtney]] as The Narrator.

====Norwegian production====
The musical premiered on 11 October 1977 at the [[Oslo Nye Teater|Oslo Nye Centralteatret]] in [[Oslo]], [[Norway]], boasting a cast of both established actors and popular names from the music industry. The production was directed by [[David Toguri]]&nbsp;(with assistance from Brian Thomson), while Richard O'Brien's original script was translated into Norwegian by actor Johan Fillinger and musician [[Ole Paus]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Rocky Horror Show, Oslo Nye Teater |url=http://www.sceneweb.no/nb/production/23318/Rocky_Horror_Show-1977-10-11 |website=SCENEWEB eies av Danse- og teatersentrum.}}</ref> The show generated heated controversy in the press, with newspapers and commentators declaring that the show signified the decline of morality in the country. But despite the press' hostility, the show performed a total of 129 times, before officially closing 18 March 1978.

The cast featured [[Knut Husebø]] as Dr. Frank-N-Furter, Kari Ann Grønsund as Janet Weiss (renamed "Janee" in the production), Ivar Nørve as Brad Majors (renamed "Jan"), [[Jahn Teigen]] as Riff-Raff, [[Gro Anita Schønn]] as Magenta and The Usherette, [[Julie Ege]] as Columbia, Per Elvis Granberg as Eddie, [[Egil Åsman]] as Dr. Scott, Zakhir Helge Linaae as Rocky Horror, and [[Bjarne Bø]] as The Narrator.<ref>{{Cite journal |year=1977 |title=Oslo NYE Centralteatret |journal=Rocky Horror Show Programme}}</ref>

====Spanish productions====
The first Spanish staging of the musical was performed in [[Madrid]], [[Spain]] from September 1974 to July 1975, which was presented as "a sexual satirical musical" directed by Gil Carretero. The libretto was translated and adapted by [[Juan José Plans]] and Roberto Estevez, who toned down the original script's profanity an approach in response to censorship during the Franco regime.<ref name="love4musicals">{{Cite web |date=14 November 2012 |title=The Rocky Horror Show |url=https://www.love4musicals.com/2011/12/13/the-rocky-horror-show/ |website=Love 4 Musicals}}</ref>

The show opened Cerebro Music Hall, playing every weeknight as an adults-only event at 11:00 pm to standing room only. Saturday nights would also include a second show that played at 1:00 am. The show received considerable media attention, due to its boundary-pushing themes being considered as a personal attack towards the [[Francoist Spain|Franco Regime]] that was ruling the country at that time.

After completing its run at the La Discoteca Cerebro, the show reopened at the [[Teatro Valle-Inclán]], where it played from August to October 1975.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The rocky horror show.

In 1977, a Catalan-language version of the musical directed by Ventura Pons and produced by Jordi Morell, with the slogan "L'espectacle més desmadrat del segle" ''(The most riotous show of the century),'' premiered on 4 March 1977 at Teatro Romea in [[Barcelona]]. The libretto was translated by Narcissus Comadira, who, like the translators of the Madrid production, changed the names of the three leads, Frank-N-Further, Janet Weiss and Brad Majors.

====2016 Brazilian production====
In 2016, a new staging premiered in [[São Paulo]] under the direction and production of Charles Möeller and Cláudio Botelho, a famous duo who signed previous successful Brazilian adaptations, such as ''[[Spring Awakening (musical)|Spring Awakening]]'' and ''[[The Sound of Music]]''.

Shortly before the premiere of the musical, Botelho became embroiled in controversy after posting transphobic and homophobic comments on his personal [[Facebook]] page regarding trans people. In his words:
{{blockquote|Guys, this sort of thing [being trans] is spreading because the parents do not hit their kids anymore. But if a father hits a LaverME [here, he makes a pun with [[Laverne Cox]] and the word "worm" in Portuguese], a fagot rights entity say that she is a woman trapped inside the body of a man. Well, I'm a blue-eyed blonde soul lost in a body of a bumpkin for fifty years and nobody ever defended me. Don't I have human rights? Like I said: if the father hits them, they will know it's wrong and will have sex with their guy friend from school, they will not say they are trans people, they will try to find a man to them and will stop searching for the spotlight. The spotlight is for [[Judy Garland|Judy]], [[Barbra Streisand|Barbra]] and [[Rogéria]] [a very famous Brazilian trans actress], the rest is a bunch of junkie fagot from rave parties.{{citation needed|date=October 2019}}}}

Following the event, many Facebook users have expressed outrage at Botelho's claims. In his defense, the director said that the comments were nothing more than a joke and that they were taken out of context. According to him, it was just a discussion about the casting of actress Laverne Cox for the then-upcoming [[The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let's Do the Time Warp Again|television film]].

The production was still highly successful, especially for the large number of [[cosplay]]ers who, at the end of very show, were invited to dance the "Time Warp" on stage with the cast.
