Judy Takes Broadway, also known as Judy Garland Live!, was a live performance Album recorded on April 25, 1962 with Capitol Records. Unfortunately, the night that Garland recorded this album, she had a bad case of laryngitis and did not get to complete all of the wanted tracks for the album. She managed to record ten of the wanted songs for the night. Then was called back by Capitol Records to make studio recordings of the other two songs Judy was interested in recording for the album. The two songs were "Why Can't I?" and "Do What You Do", but neither of the two recordings made it onto the final album.

Capitol Records did not end up releasing this particular album due to her laryngitis. It was suggested by Steve Sanders in 1989 to release the album for the first time; Capitol made the decision to release the album finally on June 20, 1989, with the title Judy Garland Live! The CD today is out of print, but has been included in Garland's Amsterdam Concert CD case as an extra bonus.
