WFMU: Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from July 23, 2021

Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from July 23, 2021

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).

Listener comments!
	7:10pm Doug from Maine: The lobsters are preening and prancing, Bronwyn!
	7:12pm Bronwyn Bishop: Hi Doug!! For a second I thought maybe you were a new listener named Doug from Maine lol. I hope the lobsters enjoy this obscure Sondheim oddity
	7:15pm Doug from Maine: Wonderful on their own, seeing "Sondheim" and "oddity" in the same sentence enhances both.
	7:28pm Roberto: I haven't seen any recent productions of The Producers, but I can't imagine it being anywhere need as good without Gene Wilder's involvement.
	7:30pm Roberto: Followed closely by Dick Shawn and Kenneth Mars.
	🎭 7:33pm diciassette: Ahoy! Dr. Seuss books comes to life, and I run screaming from the room
	7:41pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Roberto: Kenneth Mars is hilarious in that movie! He's also King Triton in the Little Mermaid
	7:46pm Roberto: I had never heard of The Producers before stumbling upon it (the original film) on TV as a teen. I remember thinking, this has got to be the greatest thing ever.
	7:46pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: My parents took me to all kinds of adult musicals! I learned all the songs. I wouldn't have been interested in Seussical - I didn't like Peanuts or other things that were for kids. I wanted to grow up and be cool!
	7:54pm Roberto: If you had told me in 1988, when I saw the original Hairspray movie, that it would someday be a hit musical, I would have said "WHAAAAAAAAAt?"
	7:55pm Roberto: Let me guess: Vampires in Love was the flop.
	🎭 7:58pm diciassette: I guess not even that ringer of a song could save it.
	🎭 7:59pm diciassette: I used to see Wicked posters on Market Street back in the day! I just read that it opened in San Francisco.
	8:03pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Roberto: No it's still running actually kidding
	8:05pm Bronwyn Bishop: ok that ethel merman line made me laugh out loud
	8:05pm Roberto: You had me going there, Bronwyn -- for about 50 vertical pixels.
	8:10pm Roberto: BTW, my swag just arrived! WTF is this vinyl doing in there lolz
	8:12pm Roberto: I must have unwittingly won it. Guess I'll keep it with the Pylon record I won about 10 years ago and have never played.
	8:17pm Bronwyn Bishop: how much time do we think eric idle spent on these lyrics
	🎭 8:18pm WR: Sounds like a Tim Curry understudy singing there.
	🎭 8:19pm WR: ah, my playlist page was was slow to update. it was Tim Curry...
	8:22pm Roberto: All these flops are putting my cat to sleep. He's lying here with his tongue sticking out.
	8:43pm Bronwyn Bishop: yikes! not sure what happened with that ending
	8:48pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Roberto I got a book I didn't remember winning and wrote to the station, sure it was intended for somebody else. Nope, it was for me.
	8:49pm Bronwyn Bishop: I like to think we just send out random prizes sometimes to keep y'all on your toes
	9:01pm Bronwyn Bishop: good night everyone
