Poster featuring a half-length photograph of Jason Donovan in a purple sequinned bodice, feathered headdress and wearing a choker of cerise beads, singing, arms outstretched, with other nightclub-style figures dancing in blue and purple light in the background. Lettering above the image of Donovan and in a circle of yellow light in the centre of the poster announces: 'The World's Greatest Rock N Roll Musical Jason Donovan Stars in Richard O'Brien's The New Rocky Horror Show. 25 Years Young'. The words 'Rocky Horror' are red, and as if formed from dripping blood. A photograph of a silver shoe in front of a yellow and red circle, lower right, notes that this was part of the 25th Silver Anniversary Tour of the show. The logo of The Musicals Alliance features in the bottom right hand corner.
