WFMU: Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from April 28, 2023

Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from April 28, 2023

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 Webhamster Henry: Luv that Danny Kaye! He broke his leg and played Noah for a while in a wheelchair.
	♥ 7:02pm Bronwyn Bishop: hey henry!!!!
	🎭 ♥ 7:05pm TonyR: Prepare ye the Way of Acid Jazz Hands
	🎭 ♥ 7:07pm WR: I've got a recording of Book of Mormon but haven't listened much to it.
	🎭 ♥ 7:07pm TonyR: A great essay in NY Review of Books pointed out that Book of Mormon was the diametric opposite of the irreverent parody people were claiming it was.
	🎭 ♥ 7:10pm doctorjazz: Hey BB and listeners!
	🎭 ♥ 7:10pm TonyR: "Michelangelo!", the musical. Make it happen.
	🎭 ♥ 7:11pm TonyR: You won't have to license the story, I guess.
	🎭 ♥ 7:13pm Webhamster Henry: My father and I and my sister attended a backer's audition for a show called "Faith", in the early 70s, a musical about a teenaged faith healer girl. It didn't get funded, and so never got to make it into "Not Since Carrie". I think the script hung around the house for a long time though.
	🎭 ♥ 7:14pm TonyR: Team Goliath.
	7:14pm Phoebe Dinsmore, Diction Coach: This random commenter thinks you should try to get the songs first. Not only will you be in a stronger position approaching whoever has the rights to the movie, but the movie was based on an article about real events, so even if you can't get the rights to adapt the movie you might be able to get the rights to adapt the same article the movie was based on, or even just use the actual events if you can get what you need from other sources.
	♥ 7:14pm Bronwyn Bishop: WHOOPS - this is from their production of Queen Esther and not from David! the next one I'm going to play is from David. Sorry darlings
	🎭 ♥ 7:16pm Webhamster Henry: I hope can sneak in Harold Rome's "Mene Mene Tekel" and get in your Harold Rome quota for the show.
	🎭 ♥ 7:23pm TonyR: (Re: Queen Esther) "I don't know her."
	🎭 ♥ 7:27pm Webhamster Henry: Echos of Godspell and Jesus Christ, Superstar can be heard in the current season of Schimigadoon/ Schmicago.
	7:27pm Phoebe Dinsmore, Diction Coach: Is this a Seventh Day Adventist musical?
	🎭 ♥ 7:29pm Webhamster Henry: I guess Midnight Cowboy is a kind of religious experience... Nilsson wrote this as the theme song, but the producers went with Everybody's Talkin'.
	♥ 7:41pm Bronwyn Bishop: Both such beautiful songs
	♥ 7:41pm Bronwyn Bishop: ↳ Phoebe Dinsmore, Diction Coach @7:14 smart!!! this is pretty much what i'm thinkin too. thanks!!!
	🎭 ♥ 8:07pm TonyR: Didd anyone ever mount a musical of Ken Russell's "The Devils"?
	🎭 ♥ 8:14pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ TonyR @8:07 The book it was based on , Huxley's "The Devils of Loudun" was made into an opera by Krzysztof Penderecki "Die Teufel von Loudun "
	🎭 ♥ 8:17pm TonyR: ↳ Webhamster Henry @8:14 TY
	🎭 ♥ 8:43pm WR: ↳ Song: "Icarus" by "Kristin Chenoweth, Lewis Cleale & Lyn... At first I thought this was going to rock me but then it seemed to fall apart. Guettel has major pedigree. Browsing his oeuvre now.
	🎭 ♥ 8:51pm WR: ↳ Song: "Light of the World" by "Herb Braha, Peggy Gordon ... Whereas this has a solid beat and lots of spirit.
	♥ 8:57pm Bronwyn Bishop: ya can't go wrong with godspell
	♥ 8:58pm Bronwyn Bishop: a friend and i once listened to the whole godspell on vinyl at double speed and it was even better
	🎭 ♥ 8:59pm WR: ↳ Song: "Light of the World" by "Herb Braha, Peggy Gordon ... And it had prominent use of vibraslap, a percussion instrument that I remember from my youth. Was surprised to read on Wikipedia that it was invented and first marketed in 1967.
	🎭 ♥ 8:59pm WR: ↳ Bronwyn Bishop @8:58 LOL, thrash version.
	🎭 ♥ 9:06pm WR: Thank you! Bronwyn!
	🎭 ♥ 9:06pm Webhamster Henry: Thanks Bronwyn, "and may God bless!" <<< Red Skelton's exit line
