Tivoli Theatre and Roof Garden King George Square, Brisbane, QLD

Photo - Taken in the closing months of the theatres operation.

The Roof Garden Theatre was enclosed with a ceiling and large openings on the side-walls to allow air flow. Both auditoriums could stage live acts and films, sometimes with the same print of a film playing in both auditoriums, and on occasions the stage acts would also appear on both stages. These practices lasted into the 1950’s

The Tivoli Theatre and Roof Garden was independently operated by Haymarket Tivoli Theatres Ltd. In later years the seating capacities were reduced to 1,374 in the Tivoli Theatre and 1,038 in the Roof Garden Theatre. It was closed and demolished in 1965 - Notes by Ken Roe
