THE ARTIST, ON THE ROAD
The story behind this itinerary
The Australian chapter moves through Perth, Adelaide, Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne in January 1995.
Two specialist chronologies agree on every selected date and venue. Rehearsals on 9–12 January are excluded, as are interviews and overseas performances.
A contemporary Los Angeles Times review independently documents the Melbourne performance on 25 January. No ticket receipts have been reconstructed from prices or audience sizes.
