Kendrick was interviewed by JustJared.com in an article that was published today, JustJared asked her about acting on Broadway if she ever wants to return to the stage, her response,
“My favorite Broadway musical is a show called Parade, which is really dark and there’s not even really a role for me in it, but I love, love, love that show! And I haven’t done it in so long - it’s sort of daunting - but every time I see a show, I want to be back on stage!”
Music to our ears! We plan on seeing Up In The Air on Friday, it looks like a great movie!

GQ
“The movie of the year, the movie of the moment.”
USA Today - Susan Wloszczyna
“A supporting-Oscar slot will likely be reserved for petite powerhouse Anna Kendrick, 24, as the corporate whiz kid who could put an end to the highflying ways of Clooney’s obsessive frequent flier. Her crying jag alone is a classic.”
Time- Richard Corliss
“George Clooney in his sharpest, most nuanced performance of his career.”
New York Post - Lou Lumenick
“George Clooney like you’ve never seen him; immensely charming but vulnerable.”
Chicago Sun Times - Roger Ebert
