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.

Posted: 5/25/12 at 12:55pmThis is great casting.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Posted: 5/25/12 at 1:04pmA bit too pretty for the role. She would make a great Grace though.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

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.

Posted: 5/25/12 at 1:08pmKatie 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.

Posted: 5/25/12 at 1:13pmWow! 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.

Posted: 5/25/12 at 1:23pmSO excited by this. Has she had her baby yet, though?
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

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.

Posted: 5/25/12 at 1:58pmSo 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.
