Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from July 12, 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).

Hello, Bronwyn. I remember pulling levers to vote. It was fun, but you worried you might be doing the wrong thing. A bit like a one-armed bandit that never paid off.

I preferred that method to the current system of filling in circles with a pen, freehand. Of course, what counts most is that you get to vote and your vote is accurately recorded.

The play is about a controversial Yiddish play that played in the US, and later worldwide.
That song was in German, though.

It's a kind of a "play with Music" . In her production three was an onstage 3 piece klezmer band that occasionally took on roles.

OK, thanks for the info. I don't understand either language, but I thought I could distinguish between the sounds of German and Yiddish.

I'm congenitally monolingual. I took 3 years of French in high school and hardly remember a word of it. LOL
