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

Speaking of the Beatles, their song "Rain" is one of my favorites. But it's not a show tune, so not eligible for this show.

I'm a bit surprised that Bronwyn can find 2 hours' worth of show tunes about rain or even weather in general. That's why she's DJing this program, not me. :)
