Can Cherry Jones sing?

I met Cherry Jones this past week end at The National Theater
one of, if not the nicest person I have ever met at a stage door.
but... I was wondering if she could sing and if she can I wonder how she would be at playing little Eddie.

Little Eddie, Big Eddie, Crazy Eddie...she can do it all!

Jones co-starred with Swoosie Kurtz a few seasons back in a play with music called IMAGINARY FRIENDS by Nora Ephron which dealt with the feud between writers Lillian Hellman and Mary McCarthy (Jones played McCarthy) in which they both had to do a bit of singing and dancing (Jerry Mitchell did the choreography). While I thought that they both acquitted themselves admirably in both departments, I didn't get a sense that either had the kind of vocal chops one would need to be able to handle a lead role in a true Broadway musical, let alone something like Little Edie which requires a really first rate singer.

I don't think she has the vocal chops, but I'd like to see her in that feature film as Little Edie a helluva lot more than I'd like to see Drew Barrymore. Isn't Little Edie in her 50s? How old is Drew? 25 or something?

She's still too young!

Acting wise I think there are very few thing Jones couldn't do.
I would have love to have seen her as the Angel in "Angels in America"

Then who's singing the solo in "Be Happy?"

I think she should replace LuPone this summer.

Skingdom out.

She would make an Awesome Desiree!!!
