Annie is celebrating its 50th anniversary in April. In honor of the milestone, the musical is returning to the Broadway stage.
If you are going to do that musical, you need someone to play the little orphan.
Yesterday on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, someone with curly hair threw their hat into the mix, and Benny Blanco would be the perfect choice to play the future Warbucks.
He looks just like Aileen Quinn, who played the title role in the 1982 film. Plus, since he is an adult, they don’t have to worry about him aging out of the role like actresses in the past. Mr. Selena Gomez is perfect today and Tomorrow, there’s no Maybe about it.
BTW, the producers would be smart to cast Sarah Jessica Parker as Miss Hannigan since she played Annie during the original run.
