Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from July 28, 2023 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 saw Death in Venice fairly recently, but I liked it quite a bit more than Bronwyn does. One of the interesting things in it is the city's denial that cholera (or some plague) is in the city to avoid the loss of tourist dollars, partly reminiscent of a certain recent situation in, say, Las Vegas and the like.

Asha Bhosle is the vocalist on the Kronos Quartet Bollywood album that I really love (You've Stolen My Heart). I played it for friends a little while back, and I was required to remove it when the vocals came on. I really could not fathom this. Americans!

Re musical(?) play “the bands visit” (featuring Tony Shalhoub) wasn’t there a WFMU family tie-in with the music / composer from that production? Have you featured any music from ‘the bands visit’ on this show?

Did you know that there's now a dental procedure that lasers away gum tissue where decay pockets stubbornly form? The idea is that it gives the shortened gum a chance to really heal ant tighten up around the roots. No insurance covers it yet, but my DDS offered me a $1700 "deal". Hope my HSA will cover it.

I may be getting David Yazbek muddled with David Weinstein (& Shelley Hirsch) “theatrical” music career.
- as well as my youthful connection to The Atlantic Theatre Company (bands visit & many others!). They usta do summer stock theatre productions in VT!
I would attend all I could (abt 4-5 a summer!). Rubbing shoulders in seats with Neil Pepe, Mary McCann, WHMacy(& girlfriend at the time), Clark Gregg, etc etc.

Not sure this sounds like a folk song. To achieve that, it should have a guy kill his only true love for no reason whatsoever and bury her by the river. Apparently, this was a great hobby of the folk, back in the day.
  8:55pm
Erik (VT):

If the theatrical versions of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels are as fun as the under appreciated film - I’m all in!
Kinda like Sleuth & or Deathtrap - done properly = it’s an entertaining evening out!
