LITTLE MISS I CAN’T SEE THE SUNSHINE
10.29.09
(Yeah, you gettin’ laid tonight, playa.”)
13-year-old Little Miss Sunshine star Abigail Breslin is set to play Helen Keller on Broadway next year. She’ll star in the revival of William Gibson’s play The Miracle Worker, a title sure to sound ironic to its subject if she were indeed able to recognize sounds.
“I am so honored,” the 13-year-old Breslin said in an interview. “It’s like the biggest thing in the world. … I have read the biography of Helen Keller. So I’ve always known the story, and it’s always been something I wanted to play.
“The Miracle Worker” was about three women — Helen, Annie Sullivan, the determined instructor who teaches the deaf and blind Helen how to communicate, and Helen’s mother (a role still be to cast), a woman who insisted against her husband’s advice of reaching out to this young teacher for her daughter.

Meanwhile, FilmDrunk was able to obtain an exclusive transcript of Breslin’s first big song and dance number in the show:

So, it’s basically all of Sean Combs’ vocals on every B.I.G. track ever?
Abigail hired a vocal coach to help her prepare for the role: Jason Statham.
If her walking off the stage accidentally isn’t a gag in every performance, I’m not gonna bother.
13, eh? Suddenly Roman can’t wait to get to America.
What a coincidence. Those are like, the exact same lyrics for the 13 year old Samantha Gailey production dance number.
I think I prefer the South Park version. How can you top a special needs turkey jumping through a hoop?
If her walking off the stage accidentally isn’t a gag in every performance, I’m not gonna bother.
They call that walking into the fourth wall.
I’m just waiting for the Yahoo Serious version of The Miracle Worker where Helen Keller was born in Tasmania and fucking loves beer bongs.
I believe it will be titled: Mutes Gone Wild.
At its heart, The Miracle Worker is really all about the only person on Earth capable of enjoying Uwe Boll’s movies.
Ozzy understood every word of that.
I’m pretty sure Helen Keller works in my local Taco Bell drive through. It’s all good though because all their food is the same six ingredients put together in a different order.
The last line of the song is actually “Puttin’ on the riiittzzz!”
I hope they include the scene where she gets her first period and thinks that she accidentally smashed her piggy bank.
Do you guys even realize the difficulty in trying to do jazz hands *and* read braile at the same time?
Like a month ago I was at my cousins house and I was ignoring him because he’s a little shit. Out of nowhere he tells me to stop acting like ‘helen keller,’ the fuckers 6 and got smacked by his mom.
I showed him.

01! 01!
Roman Polanski is gonna drug and rape this movie and then break it’s fingers so it can’t tell anyone.
Dubs, I think he was just trying to tell you to quit feeling him up.
The new up makes me ashamed to be a Saints fan.
Sorry Drew Brees.
Other names for Abigail Breslin’s Helen Keller show? “Signs Language”, “Deaf-initely Maybe”.
