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.
