Who's gonna play Sandy?
Although it would be playing against type, I hope they get Uggie out of retirement. Then, they'd have their big name.

For stunt casting, I propose ex-Annie Sarah Jessica Parker as Sandy. She was so persuasive as a dog in Gurney's pay SYLVIA.

She has a very canine face, too.

Elaine Paige will be playing one of the Boylan Sisters. I hear Tony nomination bells.

Maybe PETA will coerce them into doing a Sandy puppet. Or a stuffed animal on a leash.

But seriously; who will be cast as STAR TO BE?
That's the gem.

Listen, say what you will about "Star-to-Be," but the two actresses who originated that role in the two Broadway productions of Annie were Laurie Beechman and Sutton Foster. So in the past it's been a role for an ACTUAL star-to-be.

So then I will be playing the role. 
I'm really gunning for Drake as Drake. Make the right choice, casting and creative team!

Yes, and Andrea re-invented and thrilled as STAR TO BE in the TV version.

Chad Kimball did so well playing Milky White in Into the Woods that I think they are going to get him to play Sandy.
From what I understand the hard casting choices are Cecile and Mrs. Pugh. It seems since actresses have seen Joanne Lumley's performance in "Uptown Downstairs Abbey" nobody wants to play servants.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Cecile and Mrs. Pugh will be played by Anna and Mrs. Hughes from Downton Abbey. Drake will be played by Carson. Thomas will play Rooster, with O'Brien as Lily. Any other questions?

Not quite sure why it's so "hip" and "funny" to rag on SJP's looks, not just here, but everywhere. I think she's beautiful.
