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 Companyʺ(Sydney, 1892). “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. This list includes Tivoli vaudeville circuit shows as well as performances at the Tivoli theatres (ie venue hire arrangements).

This collection guide to programs in the National Library’ PROMPT collection is arranged by entrepreneur and/or management company name, then chronologically by performance. Entries for each program are arranged by year, then individually described as follows:

Date (day and month); City Name of production or performer in bold italic face Headline performers etc.

A page index to staged productions is provided at the end of the document.

The National Library’s collection also includes:

Oral history recordings and interview with a number of Tivoli performers;

Scrapbooks, journals and personal papers relating to entrepreneurs and performers associated with the Tivoli – NB* these manuscript collections may include additional programs;

Pictures; and

Published works relating to the history of the Tivoli including broadsides.

See also the Sharp theatre collection, which includes a sample of programs from the Sydney and Melbourne Tivoli circuit.
