NBC is back in the musical business, and this year they are doing Annie: Live. Even though we are still months away from that Tomorrow, they announced who will be playing the role of Miss Hannigan. That actress is Taraji P. Henson, who I am sure will be bringing some Cookie to her new Empire.
“Carol Burnett, who brought Miss Hannigan to life in the classic 1982 movie, is someone I have studied and idolized as far back as I can remember,” Henson said, “So when the opportunity came to me to join NBC and this incredible group of producers, I jumped! Carol, I hope to do you proud!”
She can’t be worse than Cameron Diaz, so I can’t wait to see her torture Little Girls who have a Hard Knock Life. I hope that the producers get Billy Porter to play Hannigan’s brother Rooster.
When it comes to who will be playing Annie, the nationwide search begins today. If you think that your daughter Maybe has what it takes, then you can find out here.
Annie: Live will air on December 2nd, so save the date.
