Jennifer Morrison, Matthew Modine and Elizabeth Franz Join ‘Miracle Worker’
Sometimes living well is the best revenge. Jennifer Morrison, whose departure from the Fox series “House” this year set off protests from frustrated fans of that medical drama, has found her next gig. Instead of returning to the fictional Princeton‑Plainsboro Teaching Hospital, she’ll be making her Broadway debut. The producers of the coming Broadway revival of “The Miracle Worker” said that Ms. Morrison would join its cast as Helen Keller’s mother, Kate. Also coming onto the show are Matthew Modine (“Full Metal Jacket”), who will play Captain Keller, and Elizabeth Franz (a Tony Award-winner for “Death of a Salesmen”), who will play Aunt Ev.
The new Broadway production of “The Miracle Worker” will star Abigail Breslin as Helen Keller and Alison Pill as Annie Sullivan, and will be directed by Kate Whoriskey (”Ruined”). It is scheduled to begin previews at Circle in the Square Theater on Feb. 12 and open on March 3.

To me, she will always be the girl with the disabilities in Stir of Echoes. That movie scared the pants off of me. Also, as a fan of Gilmore Girls, I of course screamed MIA! Yay for Elizabeth Franz!
