I’d really like for Jinkx to take a vacation. She needs one badly.

Agreed. She is quickly becoming overexposed. She doesn’t need to be in every single thing in the world, back to back.

That production was a big yawn and charmless.

“Pirates” and her one person show at Kings Theater, Brooklyn were the only two stage performances I have seen her do and I walked away not wanting to see anymore. Et tu, sinister teashop?

Maybe on a more intimate cabaret stage…

Alex Borstein would be fantastic.

Bridget Everett, please.

1) It looks amazing.

2) The Matilda influence is.... more than definitely noticeable. Using puzzle pieces and the chalkboard with desks is bold lol.

Its so true about the Matilda influence...especially as Toronto had an extended tour stop of Matilda, and then a year later this Annie production came, and you could have sworn that the Matilda set was stuck and they had to perform Annie around it!

The UK Tour (with a set that is uncomfortably close to Matilda) is absolutely dreadful. Here’s hoping this Broadway production is better than that.

A couple of actors I’d like to see give it a try . . . (this one is serious) Megan Hilty and (because I want to suggest her for everything even if entirely inappropriate for the role) Jackie Hoffman."

I think Jackie Hoffman could be splendid. But of course is t a big enough name to be cast."



Which is a shame. Dorothy Loudon wasn't "a name" when the original "Annie" was cast and no one has done the role better. Jackie Hoffman would be brilliant in the part.

Would it be wrong to say I want Mason Alexander Park to play Miss Hannigan

They're already in Much Ado this Fall.

If we're just going to name people it won't be, how about instead of touring her new record Madonna does this. She has experience basically running an orphanage.
