the Tivoli - The coming of television in 1956 finally finished vaudeville as an all-year production, and while the Tivoli staggered on until 1966, it finally closed with the revue One Dam' Thing after Another, starring Gwen Plumb. A year later the theatre was badly damaged by fire, and it was demolished in 1969. The developers' promises that the replacement office block would contain a theatre were not fulfilled. It does contain a Tivoli Arcade.

Review - Clever Turns At Tivoli “Variety on Parade,” The Ben Blue Show - opened last night at the Tivoli, includes a number of turns of marked originality and cleverness. The star of the show is the American comedian Ben Blue, who is well known through films This little and agile dancer, who specialises in the grotesque, is at his best in a Russian dance, which brings the house down, and makes a crazy finale, in which he makes ludicrous at- tempts to damp the exuberance of his partners Sylvia and Leslie Kellaway bring humour and vitality to their danc- ing -

The Diamond Girls provide pleasing interludes of ballet The singing of Laurel Mather, feats with a bicycle bv Will Duffy, and turns by the “Queens of Variety” are further items in a diversified programme.
