BMI is actually Broadcast Music International (like ASCAP or whatever).
The BMI/Lehman Engel Workshop was created by one of Broadway's greatest musical directors/personal champions, Lehman Engel, to nurture and promote the creation of new musical theatre.
It's a three-year class (the third year is in perpetuity once you get in). A lot of amazing talent have worked in or come from BMI, including Maury Yeston (who, for a good while, ran the advanced year), Flaherty and Ahrens...and, most recently, the poster boys for new BMI success, Robert Lopex and Jeff Marx.
Avenue Q was almost entirely created in BMI. I know many people who heard all those fun songs in their original incarnations.
I've worked on a load of new musicals coming in and out of that program.
The song I'm singing tomorrow (if you want to come stalk me) is from a musical called "Haunted." It's about the bizarrely supernatural circumstances around Abraham Lincoln (Rathbone, the general who was with him when he was assassinated, heard voices coming from his closet; Mary Todd Lincoln, who tried to communicate with their dead son)...my song is called "consequence" and is actually from an earlier incarnation of the show which focused more on Dr. Mudd, the man who set Booth's leg on the night of the assassination (the origin of the phrase, "your name is mud" is from this man, believe it or not). As the show has changed a lot, this character is much more minor than he was before but they're trying to find a place for this song as it's very interesting.
And now you know WAY too much, right?

Beacon, your use of Maleficent is just really ruining your reputation.
At least shoot for Jafar. Be reasonable here...

another jack...

I just came across this in an industry magazine... do you remember these TV Classic Cliffhangers:?

-Remember when Miss Ellie on Dallas was kidnapped and thrown into a trunk by Clayton's deranged sister?

-Remember when there was a fire in Southfork and J.R., Sue Ellen, John Ross and Ray were trapped inside?

-Remember when Sue Ellen's lover went plunging over that high rise balcony at the hands of J.R.?

-Remember when Fallon's baby was stolen on Dynasty?

-Remember when evil Alexis took over Denver Carrington?

-Remember when Karen was shot on Knots Landing?

-Remember when Abby tried to bury Peter's body?

-Remember the plane crash on Falcon Crest?

Those were the days!

So NOT bored... audition in an hour... if I had any nails left, I be biting them (that's why I've been keeping them short)

[NYadgal]

Posted: 5/23/05 at 3:12pm

[DayDreamer]

LOL undi...

[NYadgal]

Posted: 5/23/05 at 3:14pm

DD, what is the audition for?

[kissmycookie]

Posted: 5/23/05 at 3:15pm

I should not have had to install shelves with my lower extremeties over a radiation source

[NYadgal]

Posted: 5/23/05 at 3:20pm

BT.... what happened?

[bdwaygirl]

Posted: 5/23/05 at 3:30pm

Cookie, the image I have in my mind...

[kissmycookie]

Posted: 5/23/05 at 4:06pm

I do have pants on, girly ... :)

[BT]

Posted: 5/23/05 at 4:09pm

I have pants on too, but I am considering running around the office without any on and hoping that my boss sends me away somewhere for a nice long rest. Now cookie, I want to know more about you radiating your lower extremeties....

[kissmycookie]

Posted: 5/23/05 at 4:11pm

what exactly do you want to know, BT?

[NYadgal]

Posted: 5/23/05 at 4:11pm

I wonder if that would work for me, too... running around with no pants? Hmmm... Then I could go far, far away. Far, far, far away.

I am wearing my bright orange underwear today, too, so I think I would make quite a statement...

Cookie, how radiated are your extremeties?

[kissmycookie]

Posted: 5/23/05 at 4:13pm

that's hot...
