Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from November 4, 2022 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).

Listener Gregory:

No matter how good a dancer you are, the name Flatley is not at all inspiring. In the old days, they would have made you change it to Isadora Duncan or Carey Grant or something.
Good evening, Bronwyn and fellow audience members.
Avatar 7:03pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

I went to a performing arts high school and had math class with a dancer named Dancy and another named Kichline (pronounced "kickline"). Michael Flatley should have borrowed one of their names

Oog the 90s!

I'm to remember if there's a Hedwig and the Angry Inch song about RENT.

So far the 90s are not impressing me. Technically I lived through them, but I didn't follow musicals at all in those days.

Hi BB and show goers! (Actually going to a play in Summit, Joisey, Sense and Sensibility, but we're a half hour early, so listening in the car).

Hi Henry, diciassette and doctorjazz!!! :D

Ester of Wood Rosin:

@Webhamster Henry I don't remember if it was in the stage show (only saw it twice, in the Broadway revival), but there's a subplot in the movie about Yitzhak trying to leave to join a cruise ship production of Rent. I believe the Criterion Edition (and maybe the old DVD release?) has several scenes building that story in the deleted scenes.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:29pm
Webhamster Henry:

@Ester I recalled that subplot; didn't remember if it was "song-i-fied"

WR:

I moved to NYC in "92. My kids were born in '88 and '91. Worked at a non-profit that had a Broadway show benefit performance every year. I did not participate every year, but I did see Cats, Le Mis, and Ragtime. Also took the family to Cats & Le Mis. That was my 90s

I enjoyed that Philipino song.

@doctorj, I have bad news for you: Sense and Sensibility is a novel! Sorry.

A dirty martini is made with sweet vermouth and bitters, right? It certainly looks dirty.

@diciassette, make sure the soil has been organic for at least 4 years, 3 if you can't find that.

RAGTIME actually has a nice score.
  7:53pm
Listener Gregory:

I actually saw Ragtime!!! OK, in Chicago, but it was a big production. I found myself put off by the huge, complicated moving sets, but my friends really liked it.

Well, the original book is pretty interesting and fun!

Where's my prize??

I wish I could have seen Ragtime

I believe I read the book (Ragtime), which was good. Wish I had seen Assassins.

Let's not forget that the 90s was also a decade of cheesy synthesizers.

Not sure about evil actors. There were a bunch of crazy/objectionable actors who were Trump suporters, like Jon Voigt or Randy Quaid (I think), but evil? How about Bill Cosby! He was an actor as well as comedian.

Prince? What?

Evil actor: OJ Simpson?? He certainly acted quite a bit (literally), albeit not in musicals.

Listener Gregory:

I would totally go to that Prince musical you describe. Why no remake?
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 9:01pm

Thanks Bronwyn! What was that musical that Prince was nearly involved with.. was it a Bogdanovich thing?

Mama mia was massive successful. Most successful juke box musical?
