This is not intended as a comprehensive record of every event ever held at the Arie Crown Theater, but of those which hold significant interest. Many private, corporate, educational, political, and other non–public events have been omitted intentionally, with a few exceptions. Records for certain periods are incomplete, thus some public events of interest may be missing from these lists. Other records fail to list artists associated with a given event.
Information was collected from a variety of sources, including payroll records, memoranda, correspondence, show programs, press releases and news articles of the period.
