Slue Foot Sue and the Golden Horseshoe Revue was probably mom's favorite attraction in all of Disneyland over the many years we went there. I don't know if she ever missed a chance to attend. The last time we took her to Disneyland in December of 2001, after 9/11, the review had long been gone. We wheeled mom around the park in a wheelchair, but she enjoyed herself nonetheless.
From 1955 until 1986, I read that the Revue was maintained. Wally Boag was the main attraction along with Judy Marsh the first year and, after that, Betty Taylor. Wally was replaced along the way in the 1980's, but it was never quite the same. I also read that Betty Taylor played the part from 1956, and remained for 30 years. Hard to imagine how many shows she and Wally put on over all of that time, with several shows a day, six days a week.
