Posted: 2/20/13 at 2:25pmI guess with Finneran leaving there really be no cast recording.

and the stunt casting has begun. she'll probably sell out the Palace for most of her 8 week run. any idea when Finneran's actually last performance is since Lynch is set to start on a Thursday.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Posted: 2/20/13 at 2:33pmI'm looking forward to this, I think she's perfect for the role.

Except for the part where she won't be able to hit half of the notes in Little Girls unless they lower the key.

Posted: 2/20/13 at 2:42pmHonestly, I think I'll live if she can't really sing Hannigan. As long as she makes the role hers and brings the house down with her comedy, I'll be thrilled with this!
#14Jane Lynch to Replace Katie Finneran as Miss Hannigan
Posted: 2/20/13 at 2:45pmI worry that she will be FINE and nothing more. Her casting in this is so predictable, so the only way I'm going to be impressed is if she surprises me vocally. But I don't see that happening.

I'm wondering if Lynch will perform "Little Girls" on the Tony Awards. I'm sure Ryan Murphy will move heaven and hell to get it to happen.
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.

Posted: 2/20/13 at 2:58pmMaybe they will autotune her.

Posted: 2/20/13 at 3:36pmIs this a normal interval to be replacing one of the stars? Seems shorter to me . . . ?

Finnernan is leaving to do a new TV show.
And Lynch sounds pretty damn good on that song. More than enough vocal prowess for Hannigan (even if they do have to lower Little Girls).

Posted: 2/20/13 at 3:59pmShe won't reinvent the wheel but she'll be hilarious and wonderful. Perfect star casting.

I've had to change my pants twice already because of how excited I am for this.
