Sadly Jodie won't be availible. She is doing Shirley Valentine until October, then doing the tryout of new musical Fat Friends in Leeds and I beleive she is also doing panto, bur I may be wrong? So she would only be able to do it if the show extends.

I can see it being a soap star getting the role.
My dream casting would be Jane Lynch, she played Miss Hannigan on Broadway but the chances of that happening are very slim lol

I wonder if TodayTix will be offering rush tickets for this as well.

thank you Daniel. I was just wondering as a local society are doing it and are trying to be wonderfully inventive, by building a set made of blue jigsaw pieces. This drives me mad. my first instinct when I direct or design a show from scratch is to deliberately rethink the show. Obviously some pieces are dependent on a big staircase or helicopter or whatever, but there is nothing worse than seeing a production that is a pale copy of someone else's design, especially when this other design is so distinctive. be original, for heck's sake.

Have producers learned nothing about over the title billing? It might work on Broadway where they have a clear policy should the star be out, but its a recipe for disaster over here.

It's not a policy, it's simple good will if you get a refund for the absence of an above-the-title star. If it were some kind of set-in-stone law that any above-the-title star's absence automatically led to refunds, there's not a producer in the land that would run a risk that was so easily mitigated by simply putting the name below the title.

Maybe "policy" is the wrong word, but I've never read of people not being able to get a refund for an above the title star on Broadway. Not like Close/Smith recently in London. Close was out of Sunset yesterday and refunds were being given to those who would rather not see the show without her. The same will be true if Bette Midler calls out of a scheduled Dolly performance, or Patti/Christine called out of War Paint (refunds were given the other week when Patti was out) But anyway, back to Annie
