The reading process, which ends June 1, features the talents of Elizabeth Stanley (as Selma Chargesse), Cheyenne Jackson (as Wilmer Flange) and Richard Kind (as O.O. Martinas). The ensemble comprises Rebecca Eichenberger, Haviland Stillwell, Montego Glover, Kimberly Chesser, Will Trice, Harris Doran, Telly Leung and Eric Jordan Young.

Tony Award-winning orchestrator Ted Sperling is directing the reading of Red Eye of Love, which is based on a play by Arnold Weinstein. The musical features book and lyrics by Weinstein and John Wulp and music by Jan Warner. Wulp and Sperling are producing the reading.

The creative team also includes Chris Fenwick (music director) and Chase Brock (choreographer). Public performances of Red Eye of Love will be presented at the O'Neill Center in July.

Red Eye of Love, according to press notes, is "a zany musical comedy about America. Set against a background of war, depression and economic boon times, it follows the wacky adventures of three people: Wilmer Flange, a young idealist; O.O. Martinas, owner of the world's largest meat department store; and Selma Chargesse, the woman they both love. In doing so, it takes a hard look at the effects of love and money upon our lives."
