Playlist For Sunday, April 23, 2023: Raising That (Never Sour) Dough!

Shucked? Back To The Future? Bad Cinderella? Hmmmm...Should we or shouldn't we? (Does she or doesn't she?)

Does that look bad? (Unfortunately, yes.)

 

And re-dos of Camelot, New York New York (with the addition of Miranda, who like Dolly Levi, puts his hand in there??), Sweeney and Merrily We Roll Along.  Just wondering what the re-dos are ...doing?

 

All these shows await you if if if you have between $200 and $500 to spend on 1 ticket, not 2 tickets...or 5. Just 1. I guess that might sound cheap if you've just shelled out $600 plus to see Taylor or Bruce, but jeez louise. Ridiculous, especially when you add in that travel to Broadway, staying overnight or 2, eating all the wonderful food, and buying 7 new pairs of earrings! I mean, come on. 

(Total Non-Broadway Anecdote: I saw Springsteen back in 1976 for $5.00. I had never heard of him, and had to be persuaded to "spring" for the fiver. Kinda glad I went.) 

(Total Broadway Anecdote: There USED TO BE such a thing as standing room only tickets. You paid your freakin' $8 to see Liza or Company or Murder At The Howard Johnson's, and stood in the back and watched. It was cheap and you burned standing up calories. Win Win.)

So you might just consider this:
Stay local. Save on gas. Tune in to 2 On The Aisle. And shoot us $50 for the "front row seat". Furnish yourself with your own homemade nachos (or pate, or popcorn, or Little Debbies) and chilly margaritas. (Well, it IS almost Cinco De Mayo, right? You should rehearse them!). Curl up in your bean bag, smoke 'em if ya got 'em, and listen to Jazz90.1!....I try my best every Sunday to give you a Broadway-worthy experience (plus some wacky musical asides) and in turn, save you bundles of dough. THEN if you hear something you love, and really want to take in a live show, you aim your well-earned cash at THAT SHOW. Because then Passion Trumps (excuse the expression) Spending on a live production WHEN YOU KNOW it'll be worth it. 

So listening to Jazz90.1 saves you money. Every single day. And not even counting the musical therapy. And the free concerts. And the education. :) 

 

Ginger, making with the lateral, lucrative raises!

Maybe send some of your "filthy lucre" our way, then? We love those financial "pats on the back".

And yes, this will be the last Sunday of the Spring Pledge Drive, so I'm spinning Broadway classics (old and new), like Birdie and Grease and Forum. Plus a triumvirate of divas: Carol Burnett, Beth Leavel, and my bestie, Elaine Stritch! And  mini themes about FEET. And DIRT. Only, and believe me ONLY, on 2 On The Aisle. 

I'll be waiting for your call...$5, $17.50, $102, $650! We love all sized donations, and we love YOU! :)
