From Simi Horowitz article about Laurie called "Laurie Beechman Sings For Life". Laurie had this to say about how she met Bruce:

Asked if the disease has made her reevaluate her ambitions, she remarks thoughtfully: "In some ways, I'm more ambitious, but I suffer less, meaning I'm more aggressive about my ideas and more willing to take risks.

"An example: I wanted to meet record producer Bruce Kimmel because I was eager to make an album with him. At one time I might not have said to my agent, 'Let's set up a meeting,' as rapidly as I did this time. I might have been more self-effacing and timid."

Her meeting with Kimmel led to her Andrew Lloyd Webber album.

Reviews

"Love it or loathe it, Lloyd Webber's music has a larger than life theatricality that suits Beechman's impassioned, sell-it-to-the-back-row delivery. But this Broadway baby also knows when to pull back. Quiet, yet determined on 'Anything But Lonely', Beechman shows that she's more than a modern day Merman..." (-People magazine)
