Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from December 18, 2020 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).

Pirate musicals were a thing at one point. I even started one for my playwriting class in '79.
Avatar 7:23pm

I want to see a pirate musical by Webhamster Henry!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:25pm
Webhamster Henry:

I got about halfway through the opening number (which I kind of like), but ended up writing a fantasy about an authoritarian society that treats touch typing as a rebellious act. It has only one song in it though.

"Fitting together," but I think in this show they just wanted the word "fug" in there.

It seems that Ron Moody was Sherlock Holmes in the musical. I always think of him as Fagin in Oliver!

Fagin to Sherlock Holmes is definitely an upgrade
