I just checked my closet Annie isn't there--just Tom Cruise and a bunch of unemployed actors.

Maybe if we don't post about this on the message boards the show just won't happen... That would be nice.

^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.

Thank 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!

Wrong. Taymor is involved in an upcoming revival of ANNIE, I'm told.

So 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.

No. But Annie will now be able to fly by lifting herself off the ground with her farts.

That's a rumor. Hannigan (and I heard this from a reliable friend) will be played by Marlee Matlin.

I heard Patti Lupone is very interested in playing Annie herself!!!

^ Now that is true. But the producers are worried she doesn't have the acting chops for a role like that.

But 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.

Idina Menzel was just offered the role of Sandy, but they have to transpose it into a singable key for her.

Mikhail Baryshnikov will be playing FDR.

Wait, 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.

Who the hell cares about the casting. The important question is: What will the show curtain look like?

They 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.
