LOS ANGELES TIMES, Feb. 22, 1981 (an original vintage newspaper leaf from the Calendar section)  This offering consists of four complete pages (two double-sided sheets on one single leaf)—serving as a rare piece of music history ephemera, highlighted by an original vintage print advertisement for a upcoming live stage performance of "THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW" at the Aquarius Theatre.

In addition to the feature performance ad, which captures the era's unique promotional graphic design and typography, the surrounding pages provide a fascinating cultural snapshot of late 20th-century entertainment. Printed on authentic aged newsprint with genuine vintage toning, this original leaf is not a modern reprint, making it an ideal candidate for custom framing, local history display, or inclusion in a dedicated rock or pop culture memorabilia collection.

This was the World premiere for this stage production.

Background: On February 24, 1981, the grand opening night of The Rocky Horror Show revival at Hollywood’s Aquarius Theatre marked a major milestone in the franchise's history as its first major U.S. stage production mounted after the 1975 film adaptation had metastasized into a worldwide midnight-movie cult phenomenon. Orchestrated by original producer Lou Adler, the star-studded premiere brought high-profile Hollywood celebrities like Cher, Shelley Duvall, Britt Ekland, Brad Davis, and Erin Moran to Sunset Boulevard, while local rock station KLOS-FM fueled a fan frenzy by offering free tickets to the first 200 attendees in costume. Dedicated fans camped out on the sidewalk overnight, seamlessly translating the movie theater tradition of shadow-casting, callback lines, and extravagant costumes directly back onto the live theatrical stage. Featuring Kim Milford reprising his original 1974 Roxy role as Rocky alongside Marcia Mitzman as Janet and Frank Piegaro as Brad, this celebrated three-week engagement bridged the gap between traditional musical theater and the burgeoning audience-participation culture before heading north to San Francisco's Warfield Theatre.
