I could see him playing "Stefan" if he decides he wants to go out of drag for his debut."

Interesting. I know they have a theatre background, but I can’t imagine them wanting to debut outside of their drag persona.

It may not even be something this season/currently running. If anything, I would sooner bet on OH, MARY"

Ginger also mentioned she'd love to do Madame Morrible. So who knows, but always fun to speculate. It was the podcast "Sentimental Men" episode 75.

A friend of mine said she heard rumblings of Hannah Waddingham, Stephanie J Block and Alex Newell, but I haven't done any deep dive into what evidence, if any, there is. Food for thought.

I don't know if he'd replace at this point in his career, but Christian Borle would be a fabulous Ernest.

Hannah is rumoured for the London production. So either thats a possible London cast, or maybe shes doing broadway as a warm up to the London production

Is the London production opening in the Spring? I could see Hannah coming over and doing the role for 3 months prior to opening the show in the West End.

Hannah just started following their socials about a week ago, so I think she is involved somehow. Now that would be excellent casting.

Considering how physically demanding the roles are, I just can't see them committing to doing their roles again for another (minimum 6 months) run in the West End. Unless the producers are willing to pay big $$$ to send them there.

I thought the rumor was Mazz Murray doing Death in London

I just saw an announcement that Hilty will be performing at Theater Royal Drury Lane next spring. I wonder if she'll be in the area for other reasons.... hmmm.

And the West End does not pay their performers like Broadway does. Currently, the Equity minimum on the West End is $1125 (UK - £838) while it’s $2439 on Broadway. Not saying either is going to make even close to minimum, but a “star salary” over there is likely going to be a major pay cut to upend them. As this is a show that doesn’t necessarily live or die by its stars, I can’t imagine they wouldn’t just use local talent.
