Tivoli remembered: the glamour, the excitement and the stars.
In 1966 the Tivoli ceased production, ending an era in Australia's performing arts history. In this book, lavishly illustrated with 48 pages of colour photographs, the curtain rises again on Australia's great theatrical past. Frank Van Straten has recalled all of Tivoli's most famous names and faces. He reveals the on-stage hijinks, performances by the world's best vaudeville, variety and revue artists. Includes bonus 60-minute music CD.
Full of short biographies on Tivoli celebrities, and rich with anecdotal quotes, this book is more than just a history: it captures the mood, the excitement and the dramas that faced the Tivoli circuit from its glory days to its sudden decline when television stole its audiences.
Funny, fond and flamboyant, 'Tivoli' will delight readers as it puts the spotlight back onto this chapter of Australia's history.
