>>"Looks like Annie is everywhere"<<<
I just checked my closet Annie isn't there--just Tom Cruise and a bunch of unemployed actors.

^I was under the impression that there was a consensus that Annie was now strictly reserved for elementary school and junior high school theatre. Wrong, once again.

Posted: 6/20/11 at 1:18amThank you for alerting us to this important piece of news. It's amazing that this Broadway News board was not reporting on this Broadway news, we need people like you to come and keep us up to date. Rest assured, we will receive your news on the closing of CATS with appropriate shock and concern. Also, I hear there's a show based on Spider-Man on Broadway now. Can you tell me anything about that? I bet it's good if Julie Taymor is involved!

Posted: 6/20/11 at 1:20amWrong. Taymor is involved in an upcoming revival of ANNIE, I'm told.

Posted: 6/20/11 at 1:24amSo is she doing the movie too, then? Maybe Bono and The Edge can update it for Willow. Daddy Warbucks can become the Green Goblin! It will give a whole new meaning to FDR's "New Deal" of kicking the ass of anyone who tries to blow up NYC.

Posted: 6/20/11 at 1:26amNo. But Annie will now be able to fly by lifting herself off the ground with her farts.

Posted: 6/20/11 at 1:41amThat's a rumor. Hannigan (and I heard this from a reliable friend) will be played by Marlee Matlin.

Posted: 6/20/11 at 1:43amI heard Patti Lupone is very interested in playing Annie herself!!!
Annie returning to broadway#15
Posted: 6/20/11 at 1:44am^ Now that is true. But the producers are worried she doesn't have the acting chops for a role like that.

Posted: 6/20/11 at 2:46amWill Annie's farts stagedoor? Any word on the show curtain? What about partial view?
Annie returning to broadway#17
Posted: 6/20/11 at 2:53amIf they do stagedoor will they take pictures and sign autographs??? Will they only sign show related material???

Posted: 6/20/11 at 2:55amBut she was promised the part by Andrew Lloyd Webber, who's working on a better opening number.

I have just gotten the inside scoop, from a very reliable souce. Patti Lupone will not be playing Annie as presumed, but she was given the role of Rooster Hannigan.

Posted: 6/20/11 at 5:31amIdina Menzel was just offered the role of Sandy, but they have to transpose it into a singable key for her.

Posted: 6/20/11 at 7:44amMikhail Baryshnikov will be playing FDR.
Annie returning to broadway#22
Posted: 6/20/11 at 7:51amWait, now I'm confused. I thought LuPone was playing FDR. Well, as long as Susan Boyle is playing A Star To Be, the rest of the casting is irrelevant.

Posted: 6/20/11 at 9:18amWho the hell cares about the casting. The important question is: What will the show curtain look like?
Annie returning to broadway#24
Posted: 6/20/11 at 9:25amThey have to take color blind casting into consideration. Now they've already had a black Miss Hanigan, a black Grace, and Will Smith is doing a black Annie, so who else can they color blind cast? I'm thinking a Japanese FDR? Chuck Cooper as Daddy Warbucks? Obviously Sandy has to be played by a tan dog.
