Rocky Horror Picture Show fans are demanding their money back after star Craig McLachlan left the production amid allegations of sexually inappropriate behaviour during its Adelaide season.
McLachlan and production company The Gordon Frost Organisation mutually agreed it was inappropriate for the actor to continue in the current production at the Adelaide Festival Centre and is expected to be replaced in Tuesday night's show by his understudy, Adam Rennie.
A number of cast members and crew from the 2014 Rocky Horror Show production have accused McLachlan of inappropriate behaviour.
Previously the former Neighbours and Home and Away star has denied the allegations made against him by actresses Erika Heynatz, Christie Whelan Browne and Angela Scundi.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show is due to finish its Adelaide run on Sunday and then moves to Brisbane, Perth and Melbourne.
An announcement on a longer-term replacement is expected on Tuesday.
"Big mistake to take Craig McLachlan out. My seat will now be empty. Only wanted to see the show again because of Craig," one theatregoer wrote on the show's official Facebook page.
"I would like my money back I purchased seven tickets, not interested without Craig," another said.
But a spokesman for ticketing agent BASS said refunds were not likely.
"BASS operates in accordance with the ticketing code of practice published by Live Performance Australia and the code advises that a patron is not entitled to a refund because of the use of an understudy," he said.
The Adelaide Festival Centre said, at this stage, it had not been contacted directly by patrons seeking refunds.
Other fans who had purchased tickets for upcoming shows outside of Adelaide have also asked for refunds if McLachlan is no longer be part of those productions.
"I purchased tickets to the Melb show with Craig Mclaughlan, can i get a refund if he is stood down?... he is the reason i wanted to see the performance again (sic)," one musical lover wrote.
"If Craig McLauchlan leaves the show, I demand a refund of 4 tickets for the Perth show!! We booked it because we love him... And we love the show.. (sic)," a Perth fan said.
