Mystery mannie hits West End
THE hard-knock life of playing child-hating Miss Hannigan in hit West End musical Annie must sometimes feel a bit of a drag.
But the TV star pictured here is, strictly speaking, looking forward to following Miranda Hart as the orphanage boss in September.
The mystery thespian joked about inflicting a taste of the character’s cruel and slovenly behaviour on a BBC1 show. They said: “I am so pleased to be returning to the West End, especially to a role I had such a brilliant time performing on tour.
“Miss Hannigan is evil, sassy and fab-u-lous.
“It will be a real challenge for me not to take her man-hungry, wicked ways to the judging panel each Saturday night.”
