We all need some joy in our lives these days, and the cast of The Nanny is going to give us a little of that on Monday morning.
Fran Drescher, Charles Shaughnessy, Daniel Davis, Lauren Lane, Nicholle Tom, Benjamin Salisbury, Madeline Zima, Renee Taylor, Alex Sternin, Ann Hampton Callaway, DeeDee Rescher, Rachel Chagall, and Jonathan Penner, are doing a Zoom read of the show’s first episode/
Why now? Drescher told Variety, “Laughter is the best medicine! So, in these challenging times, Petah [Peter Marc Jacobson, Co-Creator] and I thought, wouldn’t it be great if we pulled together the original cast of ‘The Nanny’ for a virtual read of the pilot?” Then she added, “It’s a once in a lifetime Pandemic Performance for our fans around the world who are currently stressing in isolation and could use a real upper! It sure has given each of us a lift and we hope it does for you as well.”
The virtual table read will be streaming on Sony’s YouTube page starting on Monday.
Hopefully, if it does well, then they will consider bringing the show back.
