Sorry if this has been posted already. I admittedly didn't search for this topic...

Looks like she's been cast as the lead in "Open Books" about a book editor.

Yes please! So excited!! I don't care if it sucks, I'm watching it just for her...whenever it comes out that is.

Finally...someone is giving this wonderful actress a network show. To quote the divine Susan Blackwell, "Laura Benanti is super sparkly and has nice taters." Congrats Laura!

She deserves another go after that horribly offensive "Starved" debacle.

She should put that on her resume.

Laura's character, June Gage, aka the centerpiece of the show, is quite quirky and cute. Laura is absolutely perfect. I thought the script was cute and fun. Best of luck to her!
