Jane Lynch has been playing the same character for ten years now. We're all bored. Next

Speak for yourself.

BroadwayStar4, is that Kat McFee in your pic?

[BroadwayStar4]

Posted: 5/11/13 at 1:08am

Oh god no! It's Eponine.

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 5/11/13 at 1:08am

Is there a difference?

[BroadwayStar4]

Posted: 5/11/13 at 1:11am

Katherine McFee is not a poor, urchin girl who lives in the dirty streets of Paris.

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 5/11/13 at 1:11am

Just the slums of Brooklyn.

Enough of this ridiculous comparison, dahling!!

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 5/11/13 at 1:15am

Kat McFee is the Eponine of the 21st Century. It's almost a proven fact.

[BroadwayStar4]

Posted: 5/11/13 at 1:18am

Except not. She's rich, married and living happily ever after with her utter blandness and dullness!! Dahling, you must use your brain correctly!!!

I think Jane will rock this part and be compared to Reba in ANNIE GET YOUR GUN and Bernadette in A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC.
And she will boost the Box Office as well.

But Bernadette Peters and CZJ won the Best Actress Tony. And Katie Finneran, well...I mean...uh...

But will Jane Lynch really boast the box office? While I think she's great, she's hardly a name that will bring in the masses of people. Is Glee relevant these days?

HenryT, you underestimate he power of the tube.
GLEE was a phenom and Jane the breakout Lesbian star of the first season. I think America knows her.
blaxx, I don't get your post, pass me that joint.

You said she'd be compared to performers who replaced Tony award winning roles. This ain't it.

I also need a joint badly.

So Jordan, where do I sign up to get to see Jinkx Monsoon play Miss Hannigan?

[Younger Brother]

Posted: 5/11/13 at 5:41am

Glad I'm not the only one who say an immediate reaction to Jinkx. She looks great, however!

Posted: 5/11/13 at 9:54am

Best stunt casting ever.

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 5/11/13 at 9:55am

Don't know if I'd go *that* far based on 0 performances.

[Kad]

Posted: 5/11/13 at 10:16am

I would definitely see Jinkx Monsoon as Miss Hannigan.

[musikman]

Posted: 5/11/13 at 11:33am

I'll be there at her first performance on Wednesday night. Really anxious and curious to see it.

She looks like Jessica Lange. One thing I'll say for this production, Miss Hannigan has great costumes.
