Posted: 8/29/06 at 4:25pmYUSSSS. I love Allison Janney and I want to be her when I grow up. I've only ever heard her sing on The West Wing (her version of "I'm Too Sexy" never fails to crack me up) but that was always just for fun. This is awesome.

My favorite quote from Allison was when the West Wing started airing on TBS during their 'We Know Drama' campaign.
"Drama is...not enough Donuts on the craft srevice table."
love her!

Posted: 8/29/06 at 4:30pmI'm assuming that she will not play the other parts that the actress in the Musical does, right?

Most likely she will not play the other charatcers.
If what we hear is right... Big Doll House has been cut, so there probably wont be a Prison Matron.
I HOPE the dodge ball sequence is still in, so hopefully we have a gym teacher.

Posted: 9/2/06 at 6:31pmGriffin could do a cameo as the Gym teacher. She's not my favorite ACTRESS, but a hilarious comedienne.
