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.
Today starts Freedom From Bullies Week so today’s show features songs sung by bullies.
Opening our first set of Bullies we have the Wicked Witch of the West singing “Don’t Nobody Bring Me No Bad News” from The Wiz. Then we will hear The Devil, going by the name of Mr. Applegate, sings “Those Were the Good Old Days” from the 1994 revival of Damn Yankees. We will follow that with Sweeney Todd confronting his bully, Judge Turpin, in the beautiful duet “Pretty Women” from Sweeney Todd. And we will close this set with the character of Judge Claude Frollo singing “Hellfire” from Disney’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Here’s “Don’t Nobody Bring Me No Bad News” from The Wiz.
