The 1980 - 81 North American Tour was the first production of The Rocky Horror Show to play in North America since the show closed on Broadway in 1975. Billed as The "Original" Rocky Horror Show, it used the costume and set design by Sue Blane and Brian Thomson from the earliest productions of the stage show.

Sponsored by Schlitz Beer, merchandise sold on the tour included t-shirts, sweat shirts and rolling papers.
