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

• 
  

• This is the second of a series of shows that we started back in May based on the Seven Deadly Sins. The first show highlighted the sin of Lust. In this show we will highlight the sin of Pride. But this is a different Pride from what we celebrated in June. That definition of Pride was about living one’s authentic self and being proud of who you are and was always meant to be. The Sin of Pride is based on a different definition of Pride. It is more a sense of false pride, braggin; Hubris or excessive pride, if you will. This type of Pride can lead to one’s downfall.

• We are going to start with John Cullum, as theater impresario Oscar Jaffe from On The Twentieth Century, singing “I Rise Again”. It is Oscar’s inflated ego and narcissism which is his flawed character trait. We will then hear Ethel Merman and Ray Middleton compete with “Anything You Can Do” from Annie Get Your Gun. Next, Mary Martin, as Peter Pan, brags in “I’ve Gotta Crow”. And finally, Josh Gad, Luke Evans, and Company sing about “Gaston” from the Live-action movie version of Disney’s Beauty and The Beast.  Here’s “I Rise Again” from On The Twentieth Century.

• This the second in a series of shows based on the 7 Deadly Sins and we are looking at the sin of Pride today. The sin of Pride is about hubris, excessive Pride, and bragging, which is different from celebrating one’s authentic self which is what June’s Pride Month celebrations were all about.
