Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from June 14, 2024 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).

Never gone to one before, but I think high school kids who didn't know the story of Orpheus and Eurydice losing their minds at the end really added something special

"A working class hero is something to be." John Lennon got that right. Great song, though not from a musical.

The excellent contemporary composer Julia Wolfe has two vocal works about workers: Steel Hammer, based on the John Henry legend, and Fire in the Mouth, about the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. Oops, I forgot a third: Anthracite Fields, about coal minors (whom she grew up with). Worth checking out.

It has been a while since I have listened to Paul Robeson. It has been even longer since I heard him since Joe Hill. Lovely. In addition to great singing, he gives space to think on the words.
