Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from December 1, 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).

This is a great idea for a show, Bronwyn, but I think we really have to insist that you do your mic breaks in a posh English accent.
