Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from October 25, 2019 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).

@scraps: the pajama game team probably would have welcomed that as they weren't averse to putting songs by other people in the show- "there once was a man" was written by frank loesser (and boy can you tell!)
