Our guest, who was invited by one of the actors, reports that there was a full table reading and sing-through of the musical 'Promises, Promises' by Neil Simon, Burt Bacharach and Hal David. The reading starred Sean Hayes and Anne Hathaway along with a full cast plus several background singers, and was staged by director/choreographer Rob Ashford".
