BEYOND THE MUSIC, a new musical with original Book and Direction by Andy Sandberg and a pop-rock score by Cliff Downs & Katie Kahanovitz, will have invitation-only readings in New York on Mon Sept 10 & Tues Sept 11. The cast will feature Rob Barlett, Krystal Joy Brown, Andrew Call, Katie Rose Clark, Jay Armstrong Johnson & Dee Hoty with Shelby Bartelstein, Jarid Faubel, Kevin Pariseau, Eliseo Roman, Chelsea Morgan Stock, Laura L Thomas, Mariand Torres & Alex Wyse. “Beyond the Music” follows the journey of Casey, a fast-rising singer/songwriter, as she strives to make her way in the music business.  Sacrificing her personal life for her career, Casey is finally making the right connections and paving her way to the top.  She is on the verge of her first big break when she discovers it’s not so easy to separate her passion for music from her relationships, and she is betrayed by those she loves.  Taking a look at the treacherous waters of the music business and its wide array of extreme personalities, Beyond the Music is a funny, contemporary, and inspiring story about finding oneself and overcoming the odds to achieve a dream. The show features additional material by Scott Elmegreen with music direction and arrangements by Fred Lassen. The stage manager for the reading is Pamela A Edington.
