WFMU: Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from January 29, 2021

Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from January 29, 2021

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!
	🎭 7:01pm Listener Gregory: I was so late last week that I came to the comment board an hour early this week. It has been very lonely.
	🎭 7:02pm Listener Gregory: Also, I'm very sorry to begin on a negative note, but this version of Puttin' on the Ritz makes my teeth ache. Where is Fred Astaire when we need him?
	7:02pm Bronwyn Bishop: Lol sorry to begin on a teeth-aching note! I like this version because I love SYNTHS
	7:03pm Bronwyn Bishop: My favorite character in Les Mis is the synthesizer
	7:05pm Bronwyn Bishop: See? Synths do Gilbert & Sullivan!
	🎭 7:05pm Listener Gregory: My main gripe is that the best part of the song is the rhythm, and this version just gets rid of that. I will allow synths.
	7:06pm Webhamster Henry: You should have played this bit by Hugh Laurie: www.youtube.com...
	7:11pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Gregory: That's true, it does make the meter all wonky
	7:12pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Henry: excited to watch that, I'm sure Hugh Laurie doing Puttin' on the Ritz is a delight no matter how he does it
	7:14pm Webhamster Henry: Bertie kind of gives up on it.
	🎭 7:14pm Listener Gregory: Excuse me, you have sold me a dead parrot. This parrot is defunct; it is no more!
	7:14pm Bronwyn Bishop: pinin for the fjooooords!
	🎭 7:18pm Listener Gregory: It’s only sleeping.
	7:20pm Bronwyn Bishop: aww that makes me nostalgic for my last WFMU show
	🎭 7:21pm Listener Gregory: Why?
	🎭 7:22pm WR: playing AJH on my phone in my pocket as I go out to pickup dinner.
	7:24pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I love this version of Puttin on the Ritz AND the Pirate King!
	🎭 7:26pm Listener Gregory: I’m glad you told us the ages of Tim Rice and Lloyd-Webber when they wrote that, because I was seriously worrying about what has happened to them.
	🎭 7:34pm Listener Gregory: BB, if you didn’t hear Mandy Patinkin on Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me, you might enjoy it. Mo Rocca sings along with him. Briefly.
	7:35pm Webhamster Henry: Einstein On the Air!
	7:35pm Bronwyn Bishop: Hey WR and Lizzie!!
	7:36pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Gregory: I'll have to check that out, I love Wait Wait Don't Tell Me! And the "only sleeping thing" makes me think of my last WFMU show bc it was called Love Is Only Sleeping :)
	🎭 7:39pm Listener Gregory: Einstein! This changed my life when I heard it.
	🎭 7:48pm Listener Gregory: Your comment on Great Recession musicals is interesting, because my memory is that during the Depression, playwrights wrote huge casts into their plays in order to employ as many people as possible.
	🎭 7:49pm Listener Gregory: (Not that I remember the Depression, but I believe I have read that. Maybe.)
	7:49pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I watched the broadcast of his Egyptian opera a while ago and loved it. I'd love to see a Philip Glass opera live.
	7:50pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Gregory: That's interesting, I wish they had done that during the Great Recession too :(
	🎭 7:56pm Listener Gregory: I think the difference is that people still went to the theater in droves during the Depression; and of course, the actors were paid peanuts.
	7:57pm Webhamster Henry: See this fun movie: www.imdb.com...
	8:01pm Doctorjazz: hi!
	8:03pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Henry: I keep meaning to watch that! Such a great show and Blitzstein was a fascinating person
	8:03pm Bronwyn Bishop: Hey doctorjazz :D
	8:04pm Doctorjazz: liked this show!
	8:04pm Roberto: Damn, I had no idea this is what Come from Away was about.
	🎭 8:04pm Listener Gregory: @Doctorj, jazz hands in your general direction. Oops, my hat fell off.
	8:10pm Bronwyn Bishop: I'm glad I got to see Come from Away while Jenn Colella was still in it, she was great
	8:13pm doctorjazz: Hey, LG!
	8:13pm doctorjazz: I'm the tardy one today (ran really late at the office).
	🎭 8:14pm Listener Gregory: Those sick people! Am I right?
	8:20pm doctorjazz: :-)
	🎭 8:32pm Listener Gregory: This song must be from the original Dumbo, not the 2010 version.
	8:38pm Bronwyn Bishop: which 2010 version?
	8:38pm Roberto: Shit, I forgot to order my daughter her calzone. She's really pissed.
	8:38pm Bronwyn Bishop: oh I must have confused things by putting 2010 as the year. the soundtrack was reissued then, but it's from Dumbo 1941
	🎭 8:39pm Listener Gregory: Got it! I was just about to guess that.
	8:41pm Webhamster Henry: Not enough Brecht / Eisler gets played.
	8:42pm Roberto: I try my best but sometimes my best just isn't good enough.
	8:46pm Bronwyn Bishop: aw I hope you're not feeling too bad Roberto
	🎭 8:48pm Listener Gregory: I hope that after the final duel in Hamlet someone says, "He's dead, Jim."
	8:48pm Webhamster Henry: How you know it's WFMU: Shatner sings.
	8:50pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Gregory: I want to see a production of Hamlet starring Shatner that's played completely straight and then they end it with that line
	8:50pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Henry: Sometimes this show remembers it's technically a WFMU show ;)
	🎭 8:52pm Listener Gregory: @BB, I really want to believe you about that Shatner show. Oh, do I.
	8:54pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Bronwyn!
	🎭 8:55pm Listener Gregory: This is truly unparalleled. Brownyn, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for playing this selection.
	8:57pm doctorjazz: Cool duo,Charlap and his mom.
	🎭 8:58pm Listener Gregory: With music written by his dad?
	8:58pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Gregory: Haha you're welcome, I was very excited when I heard it, it's not technically a showtune but Hamlet is theater so...
	8:59pm Bronwyn Bishop: Yes, Moose Charlap is Bill Charlap's father
	9:01pm doctorjazz: Had to Google it, yup, that's Dad.
	🎭 9:01pm Listener Gregory: Moose Charlap sounds like the name of a big lug in the Big Sleep.
	🎭 9:05pm Listener Gregory: This Momma Looks Sharp is not recognizable to me. Nice! Thanks for an excellent show, Bronwyn.
	🎭 9:06pm WR: thank youuuuu!!!
	9:06pm doctorjazz: Great version!
