Dame, if you're lying I'll hunt you down like a dog.

Jordan I will try to find a link. It was on KTLA. She did not say what.. The title of the thread here has a question mark. Now watch it be Elaine Strich.

THIS would make me want to see Annie.

Just seeing this clip again makes me know she could do it.

I swear to Sondheim my roommate and I were watching that last week and saying what a great Hannigan she would be.

Please, God! Let it be true! It would certainly be the most inspired casting choice I've seen in a while. I was always a big Designing Women fan and Jean Smart never gets enough love.

That would be a wonderful performance. Fingers crossed that it happens.

I would see the revival for Jean Smart. Partly because I'd ask her to sign my Oblongs DVD at the stage door. Love her.

Can they add a scene to the show where she stabs an orphan in the neck with a pair of scissors like she did on 24.

This would be so awesome! Smart gave such a brilliant performance as Martha Logan on 24 and was robbed of an Emmy.

This would actually make me sit through Annie again. Great casting if comes to fruition.

Her portrayal of Martha Logan was where I fell in love with her and then again with the terribly short lived Samantha Who.

She'd be wonderful, but will she sell tickets?

Maybe her name alone wouldn't sell a ton of tickets, but if her performance was strong and the show got solid reviews, that would likely help it at the box office.

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

Believe me, I love me some Jean, but if they want to sell a lot of tickets and charge those premium prices, she is not the ticket.

I agree, Betty. Especially not at the barn that is the Palace.

Maybe they have a name lined up for Daddy Warbucks or Grace?
