Directed by Clayton Phillips, the 3 PM reading will boast the talents of Tony winner Beth Leavel, Hugh Panaro, Lauren Kennedy and Julie Reiber. Casting for the role of Andy is underway. That's Andy was conceived by Bobby Cronin and features book and lyrics by Crystal Skillman and music and additional lyrics by Kevin Carter. The new work is described as a "a comedic, family-friendly musical about a 10-year-old boy named Andy who dreams of playing the lead in Annie. When Andy shows up to the audition in a red dress, everyone goes haywire. His story takes the nation by storm, sending a confused Andy into the twisted world of reality television in search of the answer to his simple question: 'What did I do wrong?'"
