The current U.K touring production of Richard O'Brien's The Rocky Horror Show is teaming with Channel 4's "The Paul O'Grady Show" in attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the largest-ever "Time Warp" dance.



The event, which will take place at 12 noon on Oct. 31 at Brighton's Old Paddling Pool, on the East Side of the West Pier, will be filmed for later broadcast in early November.

As well as the cast of the current production, the TV show is seeking to recruit what press materials label as "1500 frivolous fans to simultaneously pelvic-thrust their way into the Guinness Book of Records." To register, visit www.rockyhorror.co.uk/worldrecord.

The show is set to visit Bromley's Churchill Theatre, Woking's New Victoria, Brighton's Theatre Royal, Birmingham Hippodrome, Liverpool Empire, Windsor's Theatre Royal, Glasgow's Kings Theatre, Grimsby Auditorium and Manchester's Palace Theatre between October 12 and December 12, and then resume Jan. 18, 2010, visiting Southampton's Mayflower, Darford's Orchard, Bradford's Alhambra, Malvern Theatre, Leicester's De Montford Hall, Wolverhampton's Grand, Torquay's Princess Theatre, Cardiff's New Theatre, Sheffield's Lyceum, Belfast's Opera House and Edinburgh's Playhouse, through June 2010.
