Jane Lynch to join Annie cast as orphan boss

GLEE star JANE LYNCH has signed on to play villainess Miss Hannigan in Broadway's hit musical ANNIE this summer (13).

The actress recently told WENN she was in talks to hit the New York stage and has now revealed what production she will be joining.

Lynch will replace Tony Award-winner Katie Finneran as the orphanage matron in the hit Broadway revival.

She tells the Associated Press, "I'm so thrilled I can't see straight. It's a preposterous fantasy come true."
