Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from April 23, 2021 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).

As soon as I'm done putting together this Ikea I'm getting into the free beer that yesterday diciassette left in the refrigerator
Avatar 🎭 7:28pm

@diciassette, I recommend beer first, then Ikea. It makes the construction a lot more "interesting."

I'm having flashbacks to Judy Garland singing "Stairway to Paradise." Can anyone confirm that, or is it just the drugs talking?

This is one of the most impressive songs by a clown ensemble I have heard.

@Gregory: A quick google doesn't suggest Judy ever sang it, but Liza did

@Holland Oats: Hi!! I am intrigued by your shocked emoji

@BB, yes, I think you're right about Stairway.
Unfortunately, I have to leave now but will get the rest of the show from the future. Thanks! Intriguing show.
