I think this is very exciting, anyone know what actors have been doing readings of this show?

This show has been in gestation for over 5 years. Antonio Banderas, Brian Stokes Mitchell and Julian Ovendon have all played Death in various readings.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
-John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Steven Pasquale played Death in a reading a couple years ago, although I believe he was a last minute replacement for Brian Stokes Mitchell (who'd been previously attached and was unavailable at the time.)
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

Well Stokes is available now.
I'd love to hear him sing some Yeston.

Yes, and after the hideous material he was give in his last show, I'd like to see him finally get the role he deserves after his triumphant performances in Ragtime, Kiss, Me Kate and other shows.
Has anyone heard this score at all? How does it compare to Nine and Titanic? And isn't Yeston premiering a new ballet score this year as well?

I echo the "New Yeston score" sentiment! Bring it on!
