View Bronwyn Bishop's profile |
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).

I'll credit this idea to a recent radio story I heard about a radical redo of "Cats" called "The Jellicle Ball." It's currently at PAC-NYC through Sep. 8th. Here's a link: pacnyc.org...

This show, Bronwyn, satisfies a demand that few people even realize they have. I have spent my life mostly poo-poo'ing musicals, though I am a huge fan of early recordings from the stage. But your work is so entertaining, instructive, and bursting with enthusiasm and knowledge! I listen despite myself. I have stuff to do, girl!
