Tony Award-nominee, Jarrod Spector (Beautiful, Jersey Boys), has just joined the industry reading cast of DEATH - The Musical, with book, music & lyrics by Tony Award-nominee, Paul Gordon (Jane Eyre, Daddy Long Legs, Analog & Vinyl).

Directed by Nell Balaban (Jane Eyre, The Boy In The Basement), and Music Direction by Matt Perri (Promises, Promises, How To Succeed...), DEATH - The Musical, according to production notes is about "Ben, in the throes of a slightly premature midlife crisis, desperate to escape his moody girlfriend, and just not feeling too well, flees the city for a quiet weekend in the woods. But on this fateful day, solitude is not on the menu. Suddenly, Ben has company, and begins receiving strange visitations in the form of otherworldly beauties. Are they preparing him for something, or are they just the hallucinations of a midlife meltdown? Either way, these bizarre and hilarious encounters force Ben to contemplate... just what do we really know about life & death... fame & fortune... art & protein shakes."

Presentations will be on January 14th & 15th, 2016 in Manhattan. Industry persons who are interested in attending, may email DtheM.reading@gmail.com for more information.

DEATH - The Musical is produced by Larry Lelli.
