Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from January 1, 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).

OMG I was today years old when I learned Monty Python's "Sit on My Face" was a parody of "Sing As We Go."

I'm obsessed with this first part of this overture and have been frantically finding every In Dahomey song recording I can find to figure out which song this is

It certainly is in my circles.

Bronwyn, the score for In Dahomey is probably available some where.

First music I'm listening to in the new year - what a great start!

wtf was that pronunciation of hammerstein!!!

Roberto:

I was wondering about that, Bronwyn :P
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:46pm
Webhamster Henry:

It wouldn't be Acid Jazz Hands without a Cyrano tune of some sort.
Avatar 7:48pm
Roberto:

Maybe that's why it was an Off-Broadway show.
Avatar 7:48pm
Listener Gregory:

The cover of the album is quite provocative. (Cyrano)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:49pm
Webhamster Henry:

That was the clothing-optional Cyrano.
Avatar 7:50pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

@Lizzie: aw I'm honored that this is the first music of your new year!! hope it sets a good tone for the year :)
Avatar 7:51pm

Sexy Cyrano definitely threw me off lol, it seems fairly un-Wildhorn (he's so...serious)

I don't believe boats were included in Goodnight, Moon, which is my authority for all goodnights.

Ethel Waters was so good but seems unknown now. Didn’t she appear in a film with Louis Armstrong? If so, that will be the way her memory is preserved.

1894... was this put out on wax? Edison cylinder? Sound is not that terrible for being 130 years old.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:57pm
Webhamster Henry:

Ahh the speed of the crackles (and relative fidelity) reveal that it's a cylinder.

The show looks kind of interesting! en.wikipedia.org...
