Laura Benanti projects for 2022?

She's going to debut her new one-woman show, called Lauraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

How nice would that have been! I wonder if she might take over the role after Katrina Lenk?

Yeah, that's false. They always wanted Katrina.

I have a worried feeling that the Annie Sequel podcast series (“Tomorrow&rdquo is taking up too much of Laura Benanti’s time. Unsurprisingly, she’s an excellent Miss Hannigan (She’s got all themeaness and and uninhibited comic energy we want from the character, with an added self destructive streak) but a series with robot butlers and an auto tuned cover of “Tomorrow” as its theme song ain’t the best showcase for her talents.

I personally hope that she’s gone quiet in order to do the West End production of My Fair Lady, but I will be happy whatever she does..."

Her accent was not great. It’d be laughable in the UK. Of all shows, they should hire an authentically Brit actress.

Jordan Catalano said: "I already have tickets for that new production and I’m hoping they make some sort of casting announcement soon. But I’d put money on it being a new-ish up and coming British actress and more established Higgins. The money they’re charging for those tickets sure hints that they’ve got a hefty paycheck to give out to someone."

True, but I would love to see Benanti in the West End at some point. Certainly better than being stuck in the audio drama world...

She has a concert in Worcester MA in mid March coming up. I hope she talks about some of her upcoming things.

I'd love to see her do something new, still think her Miranda Priestly could be sensational if they recast for Broadway.

That I don’t know. I was just told it was basically “thank you for your interest, have a nice day the door is over there”. They were just set on Katrina.

I think that may be pushing it.

I don’t think being too left wing gets you removed from Broadway (Eden Espinosa is still pretty busy, even though she was Karen Olivio’s Greatest supporter) and again, Benanti is still pretty active, but it’s mostly TV and/or podcast work that doesn’t show off her full abilities. Mind you, the fact that she’s still appearing in things after playing Miss Hannigan shows she’s been doing better than Cameron Diaz, which will certainly reassure her - as long as she’s still appearing in things, that’s what matters...

What did you say?

SR I believe it had to do with The Great "MESSAGE BOARDS ARE NOT SUPPORTIVE ENOUGH OF US A-LIST BROADWAY STARS AS THEY SHOULD BE" Scandal of the 20teens. I recall posting something minor that really irked her for its lack of fawning. And after I paid my own cash money to see her in three Broadway shows. Before that.

And gosh, didn't she and her character stink up TBS's The Detour when she/it were grafted in? That show was golden in its first season. And her Melania schtick schtunk. But I wish her great success in her next occupation and I won't have a single word said against her. I won't stand for it.

She has a show coming up next month in Worcester, MA. I believe Billy Stritch will be accompanying her.

Looks like concerts will have to hold us fans over until her next big role. And to echo others, I think she would make a wonderful Bobbie following Katrina Lenk.
