Jean Smart in talks for Annie?

[DAME]

She just told Sam Rubin that she is in talks for a broadway musical and will have something official very soon.. Anyone?

[best12bars]

Love her! She's excellent on stage, too.

[lovesclassics]

I could definitely see that!

[Jordan Catalano]

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

I can't breathe. Someone help me, I'm too excited.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

She will make an excellent Annie!

[DAME]

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.

[Jordan Catalano]

"Jeeeeeeeean Smart! Why are you following me?"

[dramamama611]

THIS would make me want to see Annie.

[best12bars]

Just seeing this clip again makes me know she could do it.
The Brady Bunch Movie

[Jordan Catalano]

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

[E.Davis]

Love me some Jean Smart.

[ComingUpRoses2]

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.

[AEA AGMA SM]

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

[trentsketch]

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.

[DAME]

She was fantastic in Promises at Reprise.

[Jordan Catalano]

It should also be "Starring Annie as ANNIE!"

[E.Davis]

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.

[WhizzerMarvin TrinaJasonMendel]

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

[Huss417]

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

[E.Davis]

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

[lovesclassics]

She was also fabulous in THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER.

[adamgreer]

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

[MrMidwest]

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.

[Bettyboy72]

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.

[adamgreer]

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

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

[iluvtheatertrash]

She breathed somd serious life into the dying Harry's Law. She'd be fabulous.
