Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from August 27, 2021 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).

@doctorj, hi! Today I am pissy rather than pithy. I apologize in advance.

@doctorjazz: I am very proud to be your Sabbath tradition!!!!

Listener Gregory:

This song (Mikey) may be too earnest for musical theater.
Avatar 8:00pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

Musical theatre can be really earnest sometimes! Not my musicals though, they put the acid in acid jazz hands!
Avatar 8:02pm
Listener Gregory:

If you are going to try to address a serious problem or be inspiring, it may be necessary to enter the world of metaphor, rather than one character telling another what a good job they're doing.
We all await your next production, Bronwyn!

Listener Gregory:

BB, thank you for your comment on Tom Sawyer vs. Huck Finn. Someone had to say it.
Tom Sawyer is a boy's adventure story. Huckleberry Finn is about the soul of America. Or something.

Listener Gregory:

If I am correct, this French song is about a Parisian woman singing passionately to her cheese grater. Non?
Avatar 8:24pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

Close enough, it's about Joan of Arc singing passionately to her cheese grater

Hi Bronwyn and first nighters I've been at rehearsals the past few weeks - just back from final dress, shows tomorrow and Sunday, so if you missed, me, that's why.

Wow, break a leg or some other less important body part!

It's easy to break a leg in the drippy, wet, muddy mine!

But enough about me - I recently discovered that Friedrich Hollaender, aka Fredrick Hollander wrote a bunch of cabaret tunes before even Ich bin von Kopf bis Fuss aus Liebe eingestellt and other Dietrich hits.

Listener Gregory:

If I have figured it out right, I really liked that Dallebach Kari song! (The chatlist delay throws me off.)

Heading to the home stretch, thanks, Bronwyn!

Next week: a whole show! also Micki Grant died, a mini tribute maybe?

@Webhamster H, perhaps the greatest song ever written is “Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen” by Mahler. Is that as good?

Glitter and Be Gay is this show's motto

I am sure you can hit them, but don’t shatter the studio windows.
