Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from March 28, 2025 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).

Avatar 🎭 8:07pm

I like operatic voices in an opera, but in a musical, if they are two swoopy and filled with arpeggios, they undermine the song and don't seem consistent with the form. That is my humble opinion.

Actually, at the time, the psychoanalysis theme was brand new in Broadway musicals (and plays).

The Met Live show had a contemporary opera on last week, which looked very interesting. I turned it on in the middle to watch for a while, and I was amazed to hear that it had been bleeped! It takes place on an air base, and those flyboys are pretty rude. Well, I couldn't put up with too much of the music filled with gaps.
