Is Annie on Broadway? *Yawn*

and the stunt casting has begun. she'll probably sell out the Palace for most of her 8 week run. any idea when Finneran's actually last performance is since Lynch is set to start on a Thursday.


A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Honestly, I think I'll live if she can't really sing Hannigan. As long as she makes the role hers and brings the house down with her comedy, I'll be thrilled with this!

I worry that she will be FINE and nothing more. Her casting in this is so predictable, so the only way I'm going to be impressed is if she surprises me vocally. But I don't see that happening.

"Will this affect Finneran's nomination chances?"

I'm wondering if Lynch will perform "Little Girls" on the Tony Awards. I'm sure Ryan Murphy will move heaven and hell to get it to happen.


If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Maybe they will autotune her.

Finnernan is leaving to do a new TV show.

And Lynch sounds pretty damn good on that song. More than enough vocal prowess for Hannigan (even if they do have to lower Little Girls).

She won't reinvent the wheel but she'll be hilarious and wonderful. Perfect star casting.

I was certain the majority here would be sh!++ing their pants in delight over this news. Interesting.

I've had to change my pants twice already because of how excited I am for this.
