These photos were taken at various performances while Nathan was understudying the role of Frank N' Furter, on various UK tours.
The first time Nathan played the part was at the massive Palace Theatre in Manchester, to an audience of 2200! At only 24 years old, that made him one of the youngest Frank N' Furters ever.

Nathan's first entrance as Frank, singing the number, "Sweet Transvestite."
Having just thrown off his cloak, to reveal the startling garments underneath, it is all too much for Janet (Simona Morecroft) who falls in a faint behind him!
Also visible in this photo: Stuart De La Mare as Brad.

Jigging around during Planet Schmanet, with Gael Johnson as Columbia.
Simona Morecroft as Janet looks around, bemused, while Georgie Hayes, and Laurie Brett (As Riff Raff and Magenta, respectively) can just be made out in the background.

With his world collapsing around his ears, Frank finally throws his dollies out of the pram, while Georgie Hayes (Riff Raff) looks on.

This glamorous entrance announced the start of Frank's Floor Show.
The giant throne slid out of the enormous mouth behind, revealing Frank in all his feathery finery, to sing "Fay Wray."

Although this is not a great quality picture, it is the only one that Nathan has that was taken during the West End run at the Victoria Palace Theatre.
During "Wild and Untamed Thing," if features, from Left to Right:

Having just finished singing "I'm Going Home," Frank appeals to the audience, and asks for their love.

With the threat of Riff Raff's laser beam, Frank begs to be heard while he tries to explain.

After all the fun is over, there is one part of the show still to go - The Finale.

The Autumn Tour of 1999 came after a three-month break since the West End run, and this time, isnstead of appearing as one of the Phantoms, Nathan took over the role of Brad Majors.
This particular stretch of the tour lasted from September until December, and starred Darren Day as Frank N' Furter.

The arrival of Dr Scott (Mike Neilson), causes a bit of a stir among the castle's inhabitants.
Gael Johnson looks on from above as Nathan tries to help the ailing doctor, as Darren Day pokes fun at the whole situation.

After Christmas 1999, Rocky went back on the road in January, 2000, for a six-month run, and a new cast. Alex Bourne starred as Frank N' Furter, and Nathan resumed playing the role of Brad.

Alex Bourne as Frank tricks Nathan as Brad into performing all sorts of unmentionable acts on him during a scene whose name is not allowed to be mentioned on this site!

These photos were taken in Zurich, during the early part of 2001. Nathan participated in this tour for two months (Jan-Mar) in the Winter, three days(!) in Basel, Switzerland in June, and another two months for the Summer Tour between July and September.
Finally playing the part of Frank N' Furter in his own right was a dream come true, and probably about as much fun as it is possible to have on stage

The tour was extremely hard work, generally appearing in a different city every night, with early bus-calls, long journeys on the tour bus, and a new town to find food in every afternoon!
