Michael Urie recently played the title role in a Manhattan Theatre Club reading of Paul Rudnick's 1992 comedy about finding romance during the AIDS epidemic, JEFFREY.

Cast member Robin de Jesus posted the program on Instagram, noting, "This is a fierce cast right?!"

His fierce colleagues included Michael Cyril Creighton, James Monroe Iglehart, Andrew Keenan-Bolger, Bryan Batt, Russell Tovey and Annaleigh Ashford. Christopher Ashley, who directed the original Off-Broadway WPA production that transferred to the Minetta Lane, directed the reading.

Bryan Batt, who played the role of Darius in the original production, played Sterling this time around.

The story has the title character swearing off sex until he meets an HIV positive guy who could be the man of his dreams. Ashley won Lortel and Obie Awards for his direction, Rudnick won an Obie and the Outer Critics Circle Award and cast member Edward Hibbert won the production's third Obie. Other original cast members included Harriet Harris, Tom Hewitt, John Michael Higgins, Patrick Kerr, Richard Poe and Darryl Theirse.
