Yeah but he was in the movie remake. He was great but I think that`s enough!
What do you think about Andrea Martin?

Posted: 7/2/06 at 12:23amRooster isn't a big enough part for Butz. There's no way he would go from Tony winning lead role to a character with one song in the second act...

I know. I thought about that after I posted it!
How about Hunter Foster as Rooster?

Yeah I like Andrea Martin.
But you can never get too much Victor Garber.

Posted: 7/2/06 at 12:28amI think Marc Kudisch would be an amazing Warbucks.

Sally Struthers (again) or Ellen Greene as Miss Hannigan
Victor Garbor or John Lithgow as Warbucks
Marla Schaffel as Grace
I like the idea of Norbert as Rooster, but also Jeff McCarthy
Maya Days as Lily St. Regis (I always thought a sassy black girl with big blond hair would be fabulous)

Dakota Fanning as Annie.
Thats most certainly not said seriously. Somehow it creeps me out how I wouldnt be surprised if it happened...
#12re: IF Annie were to have a revival this would be the perfect cast:
Posted: 7/2/06 at 12:32am
I can see Marc Kudish being Warbucks, maybe Michael C.
I can see Norbert as Rooster but as someone said, not big enough role for him.
but what about doing a concert version with that cast?

Posted: 7/2/06 at 12:35ami just really think that annie should never come back! lol

Posted: 7/2/06 at 12:36amThis show just . . . isn't that good. Why waste our incredible actors on a show like this?
#15re: IF Annie were to have a revival this would be the perfect cast:
Posted: 7/2/06 at 12:36amyeah id have to agree with that
#16re: IF Annie were to have a revival this would be the perfect cast:
Posted: 7/2/06 at 12:38amthat is true. I never liked Annie. Although, the old movie was really good. the one with Tim Curry and Bernadette Peters as Rooster and Lily (even though I hate Bernadette, she was good as that part)

Posted: 7/2/06 at 2:05amI don't think that Kudisch ever wants to return to shows of this nature after Chitty. He needs the good stuff to show us all some fine performances

Posted: 7/2/06 at 2:29amBeth Leavel as Hannigan would be BRILLIANT.

Beth Leavel as Hannigan, Cerveris as Warbucks, Sutton Foster as Grace, Norbert as Rooster, Chenoweth as Lily (reprising her movie role), Edward Hibbert as Drake, and whoever the hell they want for Annie. Oh, and give Patti LuPone some crap like Mrs. Pugh or something.
For some reason, I have this feeling that if Annie were revived, they would cast an African-American woman as Miss Hannigan. I don't know, it's just this gut feeling of mine.
