Abigail Breslin will make her Broadway debut in a revival of William Gibson play The Miracle Worker.
 
The Oscar-nominated Little Miss Sunshine actress will tread the boards as Helen Keller, a deaf and blind girl who is taught how to communicate by her instructor Annie Sullivan, played by Alison Pill.
 
The play will be directed by Kate Whoriskey and is set to premiere at the Circle in the Square Theatre on 3 March (10).
 
It is the first time the show has been reworked for the New York stage since it opened in 1960.
 
The new production will mark the 50th anniversary of The Miracle Worker's Broadway debut.

2009 has been a busy year for the young actress appearing alongside Cameron Diaz in My Sister's Keeper, an adaptation of the Jodi Picoult novel.

Her latest movie Zombieland, which topped the U.S. box office, continues to do well in cinemas.

And 2010 is looking just as busy with Quantum Quest: A Cassini Space Odyssey, Janie Jones and Dear Eleanor all in the pipeline.
