COLLECTION FINDING AID
Tivoli Theatres
Performing Arts Programs and Ephemera (PROMPT)
Australian Collection Development
The Tivoli was established by English music hall comedian Harry Rickards in 1893, following the success of his "ʺNew Tivoli Minstrel and Grand Specialty Company"ʺ(Sydney, 1892), and grew to be the major outlet for variety theatre and vaudeville in Australia for over 70 years.
“The Tiv” operated under a range of names with the shows managed and produced variously by Harry Rickards, H.D. McIntosh, H.G. Musgrove, Connors & Paul, Frank Neil, Wallace R. Parnell, Bruce Carroll and David N. Martin.
The Tivoli Circuit grew to include Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth by the turn of the century, promoting a broad spectrum of both local and international vaudeville acts including comedians, dancers, acrobats, ventriloquists, and scantily-‐‑clad chorus girls who where colloquially known as the “Tivoli Tappers”.
This list includes Tivoli vaudeville circuit shows as well as performances at the Tivoli theatres (i.e. venue hire arrangements).
Content
Printed materials in the PROMPT collection include programs and printed ephemera such as brochures, leaflets, tickets, etc. Theatre programs are taken as the prime documentary evidence of a performance.
The list is based on imperfect holdings, and is updated as gaps in the Library’s holdings are filled. Unless otherwise stated, all entries are based on published programs in the PROMPT collection.
Access
The Tivoli PROMPT files may be accessed through the Library’s Petherick Reading Room by eCallslip request: http://nla.gov.au/nla.cat-‐‑vn3531752
