Judy Garland - Judy At The Palace Closing Night 1952 [LP] Vinyl Record

Judy's first appearance on this already legendary stage. She made Broadway history by bringing Vaudeville back to the Palace as well as establishing her as a stage performer like no other. Bringing Vaudeville back was a huge achievement

"Judy Garland in concert" became an event, and everyone who saw her would never forget the experience of seeing her live on the stage.

The line up of songs that Judy sang, after the standard Vaudeville first half of the show, were: "Call the Papers"; "On The Town"; "Judy At The Palace Medley"; "Rock-A-Bye Your Baby"; "Love Is Sweeping The Country"; "Judy's Olio" ("You Made Me Love You"/"For Me And My Gal'/"The Boy Next Door"/"The Trolley Song"); "Get Happy"; "A Couple of Swells"; "Over the Rainbow." There were some changes over the run, with encores added and the dropping of "Love Is Sweeping The Country."

The original four-week run was extended to a record nineteen weeks due to the incredible demand for tickets and the show's success. Judy took a few days off in mid-November (the 11th through the 16th) due to the strain of doing thirteen shows a week (!). After returning on November 16 she then took five days in mid-December for the holidays.

For her achievement, Judy received a special Tony Award on March 30, 1952.
