Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from March 27, 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).

Hi everybody- this is not the MP3 I meant to play and the mic breaks are prerecorded, so I am about to credit that song to Barbara Cook in the stage show when it's actually Shirley Jones in the movie. Sorry Babs and Shirl
