Who do you guy think will preform as Miss Hannigan on the Tonys? I would hope Jane Lynch.. that is if Miss Hannigan is needed in their performance.
Jane Lynch or Katie Finneran on Tonys?

It's Jane. Katie is no longer with the show and is not a Tony nominee.

It really Sucks that Kate got out shined by the Cheerleading coach.

The present performer will usually perform as Phylicia Rashad did for "Into the Woods" after Bernadette left.

Do you guys know what they are performing?

As someone mentioned in another thread, probably "Little Girls" and either "Hard-Knock Life" or "Tomorrow."

Broadway Guy, how has Finneran been out shined? Has Lynch been reviewed? Maybe I missed it.

kate missed the mark on this part it would seem. People expected greatness and she didn't reach it. On the other hand, Jane seems to be getting the enthusiasm that you would have thought kate would have got. i feel bad for her.

It does seem by the reactions around here (certainly not a Glee friendly zone) that Jane outshines Katie.

I, too, feel badly for Katie. She's a treasure. Unfortunately for her, Jane has a name that can garner more publicity, which is nothing against Jane. I imagine the critics will return to review Jane's performance and I'll be eager to hear what they think. They may opine that she does, in fact, "out shine" Katie but let's wait and see.

Saw Lynch & while she was competent she did not blow either of us away.

Katie can console herself with her two Tony Awards. Underwhelming as she was, I'm sure she knows this is how the business works. And I'm sure she'll be back onstage soon.

I too felt that Lynch was competent but did not blow me away. I was left a little disappointed and saddened by it.

I'm so happy that Lynch got this opportunity. I thought she had a brilliant debut and I can't wait to see her on the Tonys.

It happens. The Color Purple became associated more with Fantasia than LaChanze for example.

why did Katie leave Anne? was her contract up (if so she had a short contract) or did they want to replace her with a bigger star?

Katie left Annie to co-star in Michael J. Fox's new NBC show. She was not forced out to bring in Lynch. The MJF show has already been picked up by NBc for a full 22 ep season instead of the traditional 13 initial eps with a back 9 order after the show proves itself or not.
Katie will be just fine. This TV gig HAS to be better than her last one. Plus Lynch is only a temporary replacement herself... since she will begin filming Glee again late summer.

But Fantasia sucked in TCP. LaChazne has more talent in her finger than Fantasia has in her whole body.

Spelling errors, childish expression of opinion in response to an objectively stated assertion (and a response that has nothing to do with the original anyway - "association" in the public eye generally has nothing to do with talent or whether anyone "sucks"), and an outlandish statement looking to drag a conversation in a different direction than it was intended.
If you're ever wondering why you get accused of being a troll, there's a glimpse.
As to the OP, yes Jane Lynch will be performing. As for other notable instances of a replacement, I remember that Brent Spiner had already left 1776 before their performance in the '90s, but in general it's not very common because lately it's been rare for a show to open in the beginning of a season and run long enough for an original contract to expire before the Tony performances if its nominated. Recent years most musicals at the Tonys have been spring shows, not unlike producers gaming the oscars with end-of-the-year releases for their hopefuls.

Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.

Fantasia didn't suck in TCP. She's a nut job, wih no work ethic at all...but that performance as Celie she gave was nothing short of asonishing. LaChanze was excellent, but in this role, Fantasia was in a whole other league.

Completely disagree but this is not the thread to debate this in. Anyway the fact is: Jane will probably be more fondly remembered. I didn't see kate but for people who did it seemed like she didn't rise to the occasion. Sad

I was rooting for Finneran to get cast in this from day one and listening to the recording I can see why people were disappointed in her. Lynch's tracks have so much more personality, I hope she gets to perform "Little Girls" come Tony night.

Wilmingtom, why do you need critics to tell you that Jane outshines Katie?

Maybe the role of Hannigan will be treated as Deloris was in Sister Act when Raven came in. Patina and Raven seemed to be recognized for their performances. I would say though that Patina is more fondly associated which is good for her, and refreshing.
