Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from March 21, 2025

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!
	🎭 ♥ 7:02pm Listener Gregory: I could go bobbling. I think that's probably my limit.
	🎭 ♥ 7:09pm Listener Gregory: I think the inspiring music is keeping the unregenerate away.
	🎭 ♥ 7:11pm Dan S: Hi, Bronwyn, fellow Acidic Jazz Handers. Bronwyn, it was nice to hear you do some backup vocals at the Hoof and Mouth. Next year, though (I should live so long), I'm hoping to hear you doing lead vocals on a song of your choosing!
	🎭 ♥ 7:12pm WR: Hello Bronwyn and folks.
	🎭 ♥ 7:13pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "If I Loved You" by "Tolman High School Sophomore ... So, is the theme for this evening show tunes as performed by student choirs?
	🎭 ♥ 7:17pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "If I Loved You" by "Tolman High School Sophomore ... For high schoolers, I'd say they're pretty good. Better than my high school chorus, but that's a low bar to get over. :-)
	🎭 ♥ 7:18pm lavaux: Hello all and Bronwyn! Loving the vinyl start
	7:18pm ghost light orchestra: Tonight only: broadcasting live from the inside of an empty can of Moxie soda
	🎭 ♥ 7:19pm WR: Ok sounding now, at first sounded like we were hearing a different mic with lots of room resonance. .
	♥ 7:20pm PMD: It's Pah-tucket btw. :-)
	🎭 ♥ 7:22pm Dan S: Does Ursinus College owe its name to bears or to the human respiratory system? :-)
	🎭 ♥ 7:23pm Dan S: BTW, I was in college in 1975. I was not in the Brooklyn College chorus. If we had one. Now I'm semi-enjoying my retirement. :-)
	🎭 ♥ 7:24pm Dan S: ↳ PMD @7:20 Oh, those Rhode Island names. Tongue twisters.
	🎭 ♥ 7:26pm lavaux: Themed show, Bronwyn's least favorite shows that have bangers
	🎭 ♥ 7:29pm Dan S: Perhaps a show of tunes from off-off-Broadway musicals and/or musicals that can be seen on the cheap. This is right off the top of my head.
	7:34pm ghost light orchestra: It's Always Fair Weather is also a fun example of movies in that window of time when the studios were feeling very threatened by television and took every opportunity possible to crap on the small screen for its technical shortcomings and allegedly inferior and vapid programming
	🎭 ♥ 7:36pm Listener Gregory: Sorry, my sister called right before the mic break. Ms. B, could you please repeat everything you said in the break? Thx!
	🎭 ♥ 7:36pm lavaux: Alan Menken banger
	🎭 ♥ 7:37pm Dan S: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:36 Ha! That's what the Archive is for.
	🎭 ♥ 7:38pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Dan S @7:37 My sister was all, "Who is that woman there with you???" and I had to turn the sound way down.
	🎭 ♥ 7:39pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Roadside" by "Lynnette Perry & Guy Haines" Some of these tunes from "Unsung Musicals" are lost little gems.
	🎭 ♥ 7:47pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "When Daniel Marries" by "LaChanze" I hardly know her. I'm not ready to propose marriage yet. :-)
	🎭 ♥ 7:51pm Webhamster Henry: Hi Broadway Babies!
	🎭 ♥ 7:51pm TonyR: So late. Once jusast unsung, now unheard. Double stung.
	7:52pm Bronwyn Bishop: ↳ ghost light orchestra @7:34 now TV is threatened by The Phones
	🎭 ♥ 7:52pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Throw It Away" by "Karen Ziemba & Harry Groener" Alternate title: The De-cluttering Song. :-)
	7:53pm Bronwyn Bishop: ↳ PMD @7:20 thanks!! haha you can tell I have no Rhode Island knowledge, although I did go to a party there once
	🎭 ♥ 7:53pm TonyR: Ooh. A toe-tapper about hoarding. Sounds like a fun evening. Can't wait to hear BB's context for this one. "Send it to the Indians."??
	🎭 ♥ 7:59pm TonyR: ↳ Bronwyn Bishop @7:52 Sounds like a line from a pre-TV musical.
	🎭 ♥ 8:00pm TonyR: Great artwork on the "Unsung Musicals" CDs. Look like New Yorker covers.
	🎭 ♥ 8:00pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Hero" by "Debbie Gravitte" That was a good song from a baseball musical that never was.
	🎭 ♥ 8:01pm Dan S: ↳ TonyR @8:00 Yes, I favorited some of the cover images as well as the songs.
	🎭 ♥ 8:04pm TonyR: "All this marijuana, they won't give me a puff!"
	🎭 ♥ 8:06pm TonyR: I dunno. Social totem-pole stuff is a big deal at a certain age. "Anything" reminds the listener how young these kids are. I love Rita Moreno, but even in 1963, she was no teen.
	🎭 ♥ 8:10pm Dan S: ↳ TonyR @8:04 "They didn't wanna have me, but somehow I was had." One of my favorite lines from any song, ever.
	🎭 ♥ 8:14pm Dan S: These sets and your discussion, Bronwyn, raises an interesting question: Should every song in a musical be something that moves the plot along, or otherwise it gets cut? I'm more in the school that says a good song is it's own justification.
	🎭 ♥ 8:14pm Webhamster Henry: A bunch of cut Candide tunes were restored for the City Opera version.This show also had a Trump caricature before he ran the first time!
	8:15pm finger of diciassette: hi!
	🎭 ♥ 8:16pm TonyR: ↳ finger of diciassette @8:15 Saucy!
	🎭 ♥ 8:17pm TonyR: Sounds like bed music?
	🎭 ♥ 8:18pm TonyR: ↳ TonyR @8:17 Good. I'm starving for context on the last theree.
	🎭 ♥ 8:19pm WR: we hear you ok,
	🎭 ♥ 8:19pm lavaux: Tomorrow is the birthday of both Andrew Lloyd Webber and Stephen Sondheim!
	🎭 ♥ 8:20pm TonyR: ↳ lavaux @8:19 It is written in the stars. Next week, we collide with Mars.
	🎭 ♥ 8:25pm Webhamster Henry: Sondheim was all for the move-the-story-forward.
	8:28pm Listener Gregory: Ms B, I think you did talk about Everything’s Coming Up Roses in your review a few weeks ago. Give yourself some credit!
	🎭 ♥ 8:29pm TonyR: ↳ lavaux @8:19 Same week as Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Didn't it rain?
	🎭 ♥ 8:38pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "We'll Build a Simple House" by "Robert Morse & EJ... Good luck trying to afford that simple little house! :-) I always liked the chemistry between Robert Morse and EJ Peaker.
	🎭 ♥ 8:45pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "We'll Build a Simple House" by "Robert Morse & EJ... I remember they described their TV show as weekly mini-musicals.
	8:46pm Listener Gregory: Semi-colons are our friends!
	🎭 ♥ 8:47pm Dan S: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:46 When a comma isn't enough but a period would be too much.
	🎭 ♥ 8:49pm Webhamster Henry: Dory Previn movie: www.doryprevindoc.com...
	8:53pm Dean: Thanks for the K.D. Lang, if only because yesterday I took a phone call from a K.D. Lang at a federal agency in D.C. Turns out she was Katie Lane, but that's not how I heard it.
	🎭 ♥ 8:53pm WR: ↳ Song: "theme from the valley of the dolls" by "K.D. Lang" Did not guess this was K D Lang singing. Seemed very close in interpretation to the "original" by Dionne Warwick.
	🎭 ♥ 8:56pm Dan S: Another enjoyable and informative show, Bronwyn! Thanks!
	8:56pm Listener Gregory: I always found that Oliver song hard to accept. Sykes is a pure psychopathic thug. Why would the singer fall in love w him??
	8:57pm Listener Gregory: Thanks, Bronwyn! High quality show as always.
	🎭 ♥ 8:58pm WR: Your truth self is what make each episode special, Bronwyn. The recordings you've discovered, the threads that pulled you in, the path you've chosen. We will follow you.
	9:00pm Bronwyn Bishop: ↳ WR @8:58 aww thank you WR!! you're the best <3
	9:00pm Bronwyn Bishop: thank you all darlings, good night!!!
	🎭 ♥ 9:00pm TonyR: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:57 What LG said!
