>>"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!
#9Annie returning to broadway
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.
#11Annie returning to broadway
Posted: 6/20/11 at 1:26amNo. But Annie will now be able to fly by lifting herself off the ground with her farts.

#13Annie returning to broadway
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.
#14Annie returning to broadway
Posted: 6/20/11 at 1:43amI heard Patti Lupone is very interested in playing Annie herself!!!

#15Annie returning to broadway
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.
#16Annie returning to broadway
Posted: 6/20/11 at 2:46amWill Annie's farts stagedoor? Any word on the show curtain? What about partial view?

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.
#21Annie returning to broadway
Posted: 6/20/11 at 7:44amMikhail Baryshnikov will be playing FDR.

#22Annie returning to broadway
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?

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.
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.
