WFMU: Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from December 11, 2020

Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from December 11, 2020

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).

Listener comments!

	♥ 7:11pm Bronwyn Bishop: Hi Gregory! That's an excellent impression of me and my friend the one time I went to a British pantomime
	♥ 7:11pm Bronwyn Bishop: we got confused by the london bus routes and were the dumb late americans
	🎭 ♥ 7:12pm Listener Gregory: I know, BB, I was in seat 23H!
	🎭 ♥ 7:18pm diciassette: Hello! I really like the year 1967 for some reason
	♥ 7:20pm Bronwyn Bishop: Me too!! Love the late 60s, wish I could have been around for them
	🎭 ♥ 7:24pm Listener Gregory: They were not a complete joy-fest at the time.
	♥ 7:27pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Hello Bronwyn - I like all those Welsh names and you have a nice one.
	🎭 ♥ 7:29pm Webhamster Henry: Hi In from Zooming!
	🎭 ♥ 7:29pm WR: Man. Blade. Leather. I think of Sweeney Todd.
	🎭 ♥ 7:30pm Listener Gregory: @Webhamster H, for God’s sake cover your camera, just in case.
	🎭 ♥ 7:30pm WR: WHH, I'm still on zoom for another hour. Just taking a break.
	♥ 7:33pm Bronwyn Bishop: Hi Lizzie, Henry and WR!!
	♥ 7:34pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Lizzie: thanks :D
	🎭 ♥ 7:36pm Webhamster Henry: Oscar Brand served as the host of Folksong Festival on WNYC AM for more than seven decades.
	♥ 7:38pm Bronwyn Bishop: I love Oscar Brand
	♥ 7:38pm Bronwyn Bishop: That's apparently the longest-running show with one host in history...until this one beats it of course
	🎭 ♥ 7:39pm WR: I saw podcast with Amanda Palmer and Storm Large recently, one memorable part was when they went all fangirl over Cabaret & their personal moments meeting Liza Minnelli. Storm had Minnelli sitting stage side during one of her performances in Cabaret.
	♥ 7:39pm Bronwyn Bishop: Wow!!! I would love to meet Liza
	🎭 ♥ 7:39pm Webhamster Henry: The Codger might contest that, but a lot of his shows were just for himself in his bunker.
	♥ 7:43pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: There's a person named Storm Large?? Off to google this.
	🎭 ♥ 7:47pm Listener Gregory: There’s a Shakespeare Company of New Jersey???
	🎭 ♥ 7:50pm Webhamster Henry: Every week, you pull up Broadway, Off-Broadway and Off-Off-Broadway pieces, many of which with original books. Contrast that to the just released Disney schedule of sequels and rehashes. Grr.
	♥ 7:52pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Gregory: Yes, and my dad used to be part of it and recorded an album called "Fine Young Madrigals" with its little madrigal group in 1990, and a couple years ago I found it in WFMU's library, where it had been since before I was born (thus ends my NJ shakespeare theater story)
	♥ 7:53pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Henry: It really makes me sad...this is why I write my own (weird) musicals! But they ain't getting anywhere near broadway anytime soon
	🎭 ♥ 7:57pm Listener Gregory: That’s a great story, Bronwyn. I was raised in NJ, and I wish someone had taken me to a Shakespearean play or two.
	🎭 ♥ 8:00pm WR: WHH, yes. I Disney not musical related, I saw something about there being 10 or whatever Star Wars related productions in progress that will only be on their streaming service and I am like, is that all you got?
	♥ 8:01pm Bronwyn Bishop: I remember when Star Wars movies were rare and thus exciting
	♥ 8:01pm Bronwyn Bishop: fun fact: this is the backing vocalist on total eclipse of the heart (the "turn around bright eyes" guy)
	♥ 8:02pm Doug Schulkind: Too bad Rory Dodd didn't star in Sweeney Todd.
	♥ 8:03pm Doug Schulkind: That would have been odd.
	🎭 ♥ 8:05pm Listener Gregory: Does anyone have any knowledge of the new Netflix version of Ma Rainey's Black Bottom? I have the vague memory of seeing a version back in the day... on stage? or public TV??? It's not quite a musical, but it's about music, certainly.
	🎭 ♥ 8:08pm Listener Gregory: (Lyrics to the Requiem by God. No royalties needed.)
	♥ 8:11pm Bronwyn Bishop: Hi Doug!! Rory Dodd could have had Anthony or Toby potential, although Rory Dodd IS Sweeney Todd would have been great marketing (though bad casting)
	🎭 ♥ 8:13pm WR: LG, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom? Didn't know Netflix done that. Heard the album of the original. Never saw it.
	🎭 ♥ 8:14pm Listener Gregory: In the two seconds you see of Viola Davis playing Ma Rainey, she seems awesome. And nothing like Viola Davis. So, I have hope.
	🎭 ♥ 8:15pm doctorjazz: Hi folks!
	♥ 8:15pm Bronwyn Bishop: hi doctorjazz :D
	🎭 ♥ 8:16pm Listener Gregory: This song is exactly as lively as cricket.
	🎭 ♥ 8:19pm doctorjazz: I believe Netflix has have a movie version of Ma Rainey's..., Which is supposed to get a limited theater release (to pretend it's a real movie for Oscars), then will be shown on Netflix. I think I saw the show, but my memory is also vague..m
	🎭 ♥ 8:19pm diciassette: I wonder if there is a mahjong musical
	🎭 ♥ 8:24pm Listener Gregory: Ma Rainey had a Broadway revival in 2003 starring Whoopie Goldberg. I don't think I see that.
	♥ 8:27pm Bronwyn Bishop: wouldn't it be great if someone drew a herring with little lines around it and called it "keith herring?" i would buy that t shirt
	🎭 ♥ 8:33pm Listener Gregory: BB, that Haring work almost exists: untappedcities.com...
	🎭 ♥ 8:36pm Listener Gregory: What would it feel like to be part of the "Caligula Ensemble"?
	♥ 8:36pm Bronwyn Bishop: @diciassette: they should make one!!! maybe there could be "crazy rich asians: the musical"
	🎭 ♥ 8:39pm Webhamster Henry: The sequel to "Chess"?
	🎭 ♥ 8:50pm WR: Getting busy on work so writing my thank you now Bronwyn. Laters all youse Jazz Handers.
