Published Date: 14 August 2008
THE hugely successful Vampires Rock returns to Buxton Opera House on September 29 as part of its 44 date UK tour.
Toyah Willcox joins Steve Steinman in the starring roles. There is also music from Meat Loaf, Queen, AC/DC, Bon Jovi, Alice Cooper and Guns N' Roses.

When Vampires Rock premiered in 2004, rave reviews and standing ovations followed across Britain
. The year is 2030 and Baron Von Rockula (Steve Steinman) is searching for a new bride.

When Pandora Honey Roseybox arrives to audition for the resident vocalist position at the 'Live and Let Die' club, little does she know, the only job on offer is to be the Baron's eternal bride.

The night of classic rock is played out by the Baron's hand picked band, The Lost Boys and more than a hint of comedy, thanks to his sidekick Stringfellow.

At the heart of the show is the evil Baron's attempt to convince Pandora to lose her soul to rock and roll.

Steve Steinman is a familiar name for theatre-goers and music lovers. The entrepreneur rock-singer marks a milestone 20 years in the industry having sold thousands of DVD's and albums – enough to rival any of today's pop stars.

He has also worked with some of the world's best singers and musicians including Toyah Willcox, Meatloaf's lead guitarist, Paul Crook and more recently Eddie Ojeda of Twisted Sister fame.

Joining the tour this year is former chart topping singer and TV personality Toyah Wilcox. Her career has spanned more than 30 years. In that time she's notched up an impressive 13 top 40 singles, 20 albums, made 10 feature films and presented hundreds of TV shows. More recently she's appeared in the hit TV series Secret Diary of a Call Girl for ITV2, alongside Billie Piper.

And as you'd expect, just like The Rocky Horror Show, audiences have flocked to theatres dressed as Dracula, vampires, ghosts and ghouls.
