• Welcome to “well, That’s Show Biz!”. I am your host, Jeremy Freedman, and every week I bring you music from Broadway, Movies, and Entertainers along with some anecdotes, information, and commentary all based on a theme.

• Today’s show was pre-recorded.

• 
  

• This week’s theme was given to me by a listener.

• 
  

• <Play “The Rumble”>

• 
  

• You just heard “The Rumble” scene from the original 1957 Broadway cast recording of West Side Story which highlights today’s theme of Conflict. It is conflict that drives the plot whether the conflict is external or internal.

• 
  

• Starting off our first set about Conflict we have “Sit Down, John”, the opening number from 1776. The song sets up the conflict between members of the Continental Congress and its most outspoken member, John Adams. Then we have the “Cell Block Tango” from Chicago. And we will conclude this set with the “Confrontation” between Jean Valjean and Inspector Javert from Les Miserables. Here’s “Sit Down, John” from 1776.

Then, Nathan Detroit tells Adelaide to “Sue Me” from Guys & Dolls. We will follow that with “Aldonza” and Don Quixote’s confrontation with “The Knight of the Mirrors” from Man of La Mancha. And we will end the set with “Run Run Brother” from The Outsiders. Here’s “Never” from On the Twentieth Century.
