EIGHTIES punk rocker Toyah Willcox will take to the stage alongside a spellbinding cast at Grimsby Auditorium on October 28 – in the gory but humorous production of Vampires Rock.

With the recent success of vampire-romance flick Twilight and similar films and TV dramas, it's no surprise the show – starring Steve Steinman as Baron Von Rockula – has already sold out in venues across the country.

The musical, which has been touring for five years, sees Toyah in the role of the Devil Queen.

The actress and singer, who turned 50 this year, dons a saucy leather costume in the show, set in New York in 2030.

Toyah stays in shape by doing pilates and sticks to singing in the show, rather than dancing.

"The show has acquired a cult following and it's a bit like the Rocky Horror Picture Show," she said. "We did 60 shows last year and there is a full band on stage.

"The musical doesn't cut any corners.

"The story is very funny and about 60 per cent of the audience come dressed up. It's a fantastic night out."

The production follows the tale of Von Rockula, who owns the Live And Let Die Club. In search of a bride, he must convince his chosen one to agree to eternal immortality and be his queen.

The show includes classic rock songs by AC/DC, Guns 'N' Roses, Led Zeppelin, Bon Jovi and Queen. Toyah said: "It's a real feel-good show and if you like rock and roll, this musical is definitely for you."
