ARE YA WITH ME!?
Nah, not really.
I mean, she'd be great and everything, but aren't you jumping the gun? How do you even know what they have in mind with the production?
in the post "Betty White 4 SNL" days where ppl can get a movement going to have a black guy play Spiderman when details about the movie aren't out yet, nothing is considered jumping the gun.
I love her, but who is Miss Hannigan?
I love Mary Testa like no other but I know exactly how she'd play Hannigan. I'd rather they cast someone that surprised us and was a revelation in the role.
Since singing isn't key for the role, if they could get a top notch celeb in the role who could wow us with her acting, I'd be more interested in that.
We'll see Testa in it when Papermill does it.
I'd rather see Testa in Call Me Madam.
"I love her, but who is Miss Hannigan?"
Really, Muscle? Really?
You just keep upping (or downing) yourself with each post.
You could tell me the 6th swing in Bombay Dreams yet you don't know who Miss Hannigan is?
How Can I Discover Who Miss Hannigan Is? If Only There Were a Way...
BRING MELANIE GRIFFITH BACK TO BROADWAY IN THIS ROLE!
Just throwing it in there.
Imagine Jackie Hoffman singing "Little Girls."

I'd like to see Veanne Cox do it.
If they're going for star power, Cyndi Lauper (her Little Girls would be good, but her Easy Street might be a bit anemic).

She's still out of breath from doing Chicago.

I seriously doubt they'd have the nerve to do it, but Harvey Fierstein as Miss Hannigan.

Laila Robins.
I think Testa would be fine in the role, but I don't see a producer casting her to open the show. The title role will be a newbie, and unless they get a name as Warbucks, they'll look for Hannigan to sell tickets.

I just assumed Conrad what'shisname would play Warbucks.

If the timing is right, I think Jane Lynch would be the right person for Hannigan, particularly if she wins an Emmy for Glee.

Now here's the star wattage they're looking for
George Clooney as Daddy Warbucks
Rosie O'Donnell as Miss Hannigan
Abigail Breslin as Annie
Kiefer Sutherland as Rooster
Katie Finneran as Lily
I'd add Anne Hathaway as Grace.

An office person from the Weisslers office just leaked the cast list:
Matt Morrison as Daddy Warbucks
Lea Michele as Annie
Jane Lynch as Hannigan
Heather Morris as Grace
Mark Salling as Rooster
Dianna Agron as Lily
Here is a sample of Rosie O'Donnell as Miss Hannigan.

I like the Jackie Hoffman idea.
I'd actually like to see Jane Lynch or Cyndi too. Especially considering how good Cyndi was in 3Penny.

How is Mary going to play Hannigan in the Annie revival if she is also playing Fanny in Funny Girl??
