This Thursday, ABC’s The View offers a blend of Broadway and Hollywood, with appearances from “Wicked” star Cynthia Erivo and a performance by the cast of “Annie.” Erivo, taking on the iconic role of Elphaba in the upcoming film adaptation, will offer insights into portraying the misunderstood green-skinned witch. The film version of the hit musical, hitting theaters on November 22nd, has generated significant buzz.
Alongside Erivo, The View welcomes the cast of the ever-popular musical “Annie,” currently touring the country. Given “Annie’s” enduring appeal, their performance should inject a dose of classic Broadway charm into the daytime talk show setting. The show is playing at the Chicago Theatre in Chicago, Il this month.
While the musical segments promise entertainment, the show’s regular hosts — Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin, and Ana Navarro — will also steer the conversation towards current events and other topical discussions, creating an interesting juxtaposition of lighthearted entertainment and more serious subjects.
Tune in to ABC on Thursday, November 14th at 11:00 AM for this mix of Broadway, Hollywood, and the usual View discourse.
