The BMI Workshop Songbook Podcast Episode #14 features Broadway Leading Man Gavin Creel ( Thoroughly Modern Millie, Bounce, La Cage, Mary Poppins, and Jesus in the upcoming Broadway revival of Godspell) singing “Rock City” from See Rock City & Other Destinations. Gavin totally rocks out the tune with Vadim Feichner at the piano. But wait, there’s more! The podcast also includes an interview with composer Brad Alexander and lyricist Adam Mathias (that’s me!) The BMI Workshop Songbook Podcast is produced and moderated by the ever-popular Jeff Blumenkrantz. Thanks, Jeff!

It has recently been announced that See Rock City & Other Destinations is a recipient of the 2008 Richard Rodgers Award for musical theatre. The award includes a generous grant toward a new developmental staged reading at a New York theatre company.

"The intent of the Richard Rodgers award is to nurture the careers of talented composers and playwrights, and to have their musicals produced in New York City. Former award recipients include Maury Yeston (Nine), Jonathan Larson (Rent), Julie Taymor and Elliot Goldenthal (Juan Darien), Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (Lucky Stiff), Jeanine Tesori and Brian Crawley (Violet). Since 1980, sixty-four works have been produced. This year's jury included Stephen Sondheim (chair), Lynn Ahrens, John Guare, Sheldon Harnick, Richard Maltby, Jr., and John Weidman."
