I just saw that! How wonderful! I wasn't planning on seeing this show, but now that Jackie is in it I think I might.

I love that casting.

I just assumed she'd be playing one of the grandmothers...
Anyway, let us pray that her songs (or rather her son's songs) are reconceived from the West End version.

I'd be happy with Hoffman as Willy Wonka.

Back to the Lunt for Jackie ...she was there in The Addams Family.
The Lunt......it took Carolee and Terrance for Neverland from The Addams Family also.
Must be something in the water..

Or something in the paycheck? She's great, I'm sure she'll rock this. Just hope there are moments to showcase her talents.

It seems the tweet was deleted. What did it say?
Posted: 6/13/16 at 9:37pm
^Just that she was playing Mrs. Teavee.

Maybe it fell through or perhaps she is playing one the grandmothers.
Posted: 6/13/16 at 9:48pm
More likely: the Producers asked her to take down the tweet until an official cast announcement is made.

Today it was reported that she'd tweeted about learning a new song from Marc Shaiman, the speculation being she was doing Charlie & the Chocolate Factory. (Scroll down to 11:10 PM)

This is perfect.
To this day, nothing has made me laugh as hard as Jackie Hoffman in Xanadu. All three times. She never got old.

Those vlogs gave me life. She better get another one!
