Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from February 24, 2023 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).

Since we've interrupted Don Cherry, may I suggest that a Don Cherry musical bio would be a fantastic idea?

Are we considering a bio-musical about Don Cherry the trumpeter or the hockey player? Or perhaps both simultaneously?

When Got Tu Go Disco came out, disco was already dead.

Broadway showing its usual flair for timing

I was thinking the trumpet player, cuz he is the only one to appear on the GTD stream. A disco bio musical of him would be amazing! I’m sure @doctorj will back me up on this.

I will look into this after my musicals about Ashman & Menken, Bernie the killer undertaker and Michael Cimino

Here's the current plan: I'll work out a story, Bronwyn will write the lyrics and most of the book, Webhamster Henry will direct, and your daughter will be a featured performer. Are you in?
