Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from January 22, 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).

I've seen a lot of versions of Alice, but I suspect the 19th century theatrical ones were the best. That and the Andre Gregory one and the Svankmajer.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:11pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

The Svankmajer one is CRAZY (and great)
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 7:13pm

Ahoy! I think I have seen the Svankmajer Alice pop up in Mubi or something simliar. I've never watched it, though!
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 7:14pm
Webhamster Henry:

The Alice bits in Dreamchild are also pretty out there. en.wikipedia.org...

I'm a big Lewis Carroll fan, had his complete works in High School, the collected letters, the Annotated Alice, etc. etc.
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 7:18pm
Webhamster Henry:

The book on the Andre Gregory Alice and how they put it together is pretty spectacular for theatre lovers. Also: many, many pix by Richard Avedon.

I really need to read some Carroll, I never have

Hi Folks! My wife saw this version of Hello Dolly. (She's very pleased to hear it now)!

@Drj I saw that production too!

Bronwyn Bishop:

So jealous, I've never seen any version of Hello Dolly live. I tried to get tickets to the Bette one but they were too expensive

Bronwyn Bishop:

Happy early birthday Jeff!! *confetti*
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 7:31pm
Webhamster Henry:

I saw a Hello Dolly done at a local high school a few years ago when they had one of those really good theatre director. I think some of the cast have gone on to theatrical careers (and I hope they are ok).

My high school did Hello, Dolly, when I was a student there. I stage managed.

Hah Via Galactica was the show that opened the Uris Theatre when it was brand new in '72 or '73. They had built a whole lotta platforms for the roller skates! The second production there was See Saw.
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 7:44pm
Webhamster Henry:

The Uris Theatre got renamed the Gershwin.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:44pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

When I saw Wicked last January I told my friend who accompanied me "This theater used to be called the Uris" and he didn't believe me. "The WHAT?"

That first Tintypes tune is "La Petite tonkinoise", a staple of Josephine Baker.

Listener Gregory:

Hello, Show People. I swear I was only 10 minutes late, but the usher made me wait until the intermission to come in.
Avatar 🎭 8:01pm
Listener Gregory:

Also, I saw Ragtime in Chicago, I believe, and I felt it was overwrought, with huge productions just for the sake of spectacle. I am sorry to be a downer. Uh oh, the usher is telling me I have to leave now.

Comment for 30 min ago: I knew someone who saw Hello, Dolly with each of the stars in its original run. He really enjoyed the way the different actors handled the role.

@Henry: Not as weird as when me and a whole party full of drunk revelers sang it in an apartment on the lower east side that one time. That was the weirdest and yet best version

Weill did his own orchestrations, but I don't think these are his.

I did not know the music for Speak Low was by Weill. But now it all makes perfect sense!

I want that CD that was amazing
Avatar 🎭 8:25pm

Also very hard to believe Ogden Nash of humorous verse fame wrote these lyrics (Speak Low).
Compare to Lines on the Antiquity of Fleas: “Adam Had ‘em.” Tht is the complete poem.

those of the musical theatre squad who were working at the time, I mean
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 8:30pm
doctorjazz:

(in fact, most show tunes I knew I heard because a jazz musician played it. Until I had a wife and daughter who were musical theatre fanatics, that is)
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 8:30pm

I think it's just some of the ones working in Hollywood in 1929. Jack Benny is telling some lame jokes and pausing for laughs, but to see some of those guys is pretty good.

So, I was watching a K-pop video earlier today, called, "chicken noodle soup". Lyrics were in Korean, English, Espanol, and frankly confusing (culturally confusing is the best kind of confusing). So, I naturally ordered take-out from Korean restaurant, and ordered chicken noodle soup.
