Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from March 7, 2025 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).

Pacific Overtures was so way out when it premiered. Kind of still is! These songs are powerful expressions of Sondheim's aim of putting plot in the songs. Like the Bowler Hat, Chrysanthemum tea. While Someone In A Tree is a musical version of a japanese print.

tbh chrysanthemum tea is my favorite sondheim song ever

Listen to the statistics in "Next!" which I guess can be left in to keep the show in the 70s.

I'm seriously tapped out at the moment so I can't make any additional pledges this week. Maybe next week. Maybe. In the meantime, I will add my voice to urge anyone who can afford to do so to give $20 to Acid Jazz Hands and get in the running to win the Stereophonic original cast recording!

Thanks for the acknowledgement, Bronwyn! BTW, it was my pleasure to be at your musical "Something There," and I'm looking forward to your next one!
