And today Sarah Jessica Parker revealed she’s ready to return along with Bette Midler and Kathy Najimy as the Sanderson Sisters.
She says: “I think that is something that Bette, Kathy, and I are very hospitable to the idea and I think for a long time people had been talking about it as if people were moving forward with it in a real way but we were unaware of it. I think now we have gotten to the point where we all have agreed publicly to the right people that ‘Yes, that would be a very, very fun idea.’ So we’ll see what the future holds.”
