Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from February 16, 2024 Favoriting

Bronwyn Bishop's avatar View Bronwyn Bishop's profile Favoriting

Musical theater from off the beaten path. Obscure and unusual show tunes from within the canon and without, flops, failures, and the newest works from up-and-coming artists—plus tried-and-true hits. Also, occasional appearances from songs that are not show tunes (but only if they go really well with show tunes).

William Bolcomb is the pianist, and he has written his own song cycles, which I think he has recorded with Joan Morris. Most notable is a version of the Blake Songs of Innocence and Experience.

In partial defense of that Allmusic reviewer, I have to say that a few times I have thought, "This song could only work as part of a musical."

Perhaps, but on the other hand, so many great musical theater songs can stand on their own, seperate and independent from the shows they come from.

This was a fun show, Bronwyn. Some little gems in there. There were some misses, too, but that's what makes for interesting, anti-seamless radio. You should do this or a similarly themed show again sometime.
