Especially at the Palace! Think she could handle it? It is only a few songs.
You might see Liza back at the Palace but only in the audience on Opening Night of Annie.
Hasn't she said she never wants to do another book show again?
How the hell hard is it to play Miss Hannigan though?
Nothing against Liza, but I'd rather the role be played by someone who still has a strong voice.
I think Liza is too short to play Miss Hannigan.
It would have to be a limited run I would assume.

LuPone.
If she were to play Hannigan I'd actually see the show.
It is doubtful that the producers would be able (or interested) to get an insurance company to underwrite any book musical with Liza onboard.
If it happened I would see the show.
I think she'd be terrrrrrrrrriffffffic.
Really Terrrrfffffficccccc.
They should just get Christine Pedi as Liza to play Hannigan. She plays the role as Carol Channing as Hannigan at matinees. And as Bernadette for the press performances. Merman and LuPone can fight for opening night.
Good idea, and perhaps they can do the show at Madame Tussaud's.
Liza as Miss Hannigan?!@$%^&*! That's more than my senses could bear! Complete acid trip.
