Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from December 6, 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).

The one and only time I went to Disneyland, they had closed Frontierland for renovation and you could see the riverboat and the track it ran on (I guess it didn't actually float) because they had dewatered the pond.

My sister worked for a summer at DisneyWorld. I visited with her, and she agreed to go on every ride/exhibit except for It’s a Small World.
To be fair, I visited Disneyland years later with some young girls who went into it, and you have never seen such thrilled children after they came out. So I think the age cutoff must be under 10 years.
