Theater reporter, Frank Dilella, also tweeted this.

Now this is exciting casting without going for a name!

I agree. Very exciting!

I'm surprised they didn't go with a name, but happy.

A bit too pretty for the role. She would make a great Grace though.

Just needed to fix the spelling in the thread title.

And the only tweet DiLella has made is in a conversation with Blake Ross that he's been hearing Katie Finneran. Not exactly an official announcement.

Katie Finneran is one of the very best singing character actresses we have; her Hannigan will be as sexy or frumpy as whatever they need, and will very probably be the best take on the role since Loudon. Really fine casting.

Daniel Henning from Blank theater is also saying it is her.

Wow! That's wonderful, she's going to be brilliant, this will definitely get me to see ANNIE, unlike other rumored names which sounded good but wouldn't have gotten me to actually see the show.

Finneran's 2nd baby, another son, is due in early summer so she'll be ready to go when the revival begins previews in early October 2012.

So excited for her! I loved her in Promises, Promises and Wonderfalls. This casting announcement is probably the only thing that's going to get me to see Annie.

Oh, please! I was his English teacher. I should have saved some of his essays. You'd be surprised about how wrong he could be!!!!!
