JUDY AT THE PALACE CLOSING NIGHT 1952

Double vinyl LP pressing. 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 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.
