JUDY'S SWAN SONG AT THE PALLADIUM

These photographs were taken during Judy Garland's last ever performance at her beloved London Palladium. They were taken in 1969 during the taping of the television program Sunday Night At The Palladium.
Judy was a last minute replacement for Lena Horne (who had taken ill).

JUDY'S BACK AT THE PALACE (well, sort of. Okay, not really).

Cabaret performer Daphne Alderson is bringing her Garland tribute show to the
Palace Theater in Marion, Ohio. The show called "All Heart, All Judy" will be
presented on November 14.
