Academy & EMMY-nominated actress Taraji P. Henson leads an all-star cast aboard the next live musical event to grace TV screens courtesy of NBC: the 7-time TONY Award-winning musical, ‘Annie.’
While Henson’s heading the classic story as the ‘Queen of Mean’ (Miss Hannigan), rising starlet Celina Smith takes the titular role of the orphan Annie. Elsewhere on the roster, GRAMMY & EMMY Award-winning singer-actor Harry Connick Jr. puts a spin on Daddy Warbucks, EMMY-nominated actor-singer Tituss Burgess portrays Rooster Hannigan, and GRAMMY-nominated Pop diva Nicole Scherzinger shines as Grace.
Ahead of the December 2 arrival of the Robert Greenblatt-executive produced feature, look inside to see its official trailer.
Your thoughts?
Tragic.
Like flopmila and lana del flops careers…
Nope, worse. Blacks stealing white stories again as they have none of their own and the slavery has been done way too many times so they have nothing else to say. Tragic, like I said.
Your conception is more tragic than all of the above. You’re a waste.
Culture vultures 🤦🏽♀️
If anything, the black actors in this production are reclaiming the music and dance traditions that were taken from African Americans and popularized by whites. Start your research with the origin of tap and Al Jolson, then come back and tell me who the culture vultures are.
This! And she supports white artists who “Imitate” Black singers & take from Black American musical traditions.
Here come ole Fake Pîss
“Black American musical traditions” stemmed from white American musical traditions, duh. It was a blending of the two cultures which actually is a beautiful thing. My “culture vultures” comment was a facetious comment. Playing on how blacks say it about everything, yet no one is actually a culture vulture. It doesn’t exist. Culture is ever-changing and evolving. Cultures blend with other cultures and one as an entirely new culture of that part of the world, country, city etc.
Well to be fair… China is profiting off of America, so I guess that’s beautiful also. 🤷
Cringe as hell. This is like Home alone ghetto version 💅🏿 Smh Nicole must be desperate for money…..she’s clearly jobless after the X factor
