Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from May 12, 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).

"Welsh bass-baritone Bryn Terfel, who has appeared in several productions of Sweeney Todd, was interviewed by Richard Dyer of The Boston Globe in July [2004]. He said, 'I am still looking for somebody to write an opera for me. When I was doing Sweeney Todd, I talked with Stephen Sondheim, who is interested in developing something based on The Mabinogion, medieval stories from Wales. Now how exciting would that be?'"
