Melissa McCarthy was a name bouncing around a while back and I think she'd be fantastic.

I’m sure it will be offered to all the female comedians. Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Kristin Wiig, Sarah Silverman, Melissa McCarthy

Many offers have been sent out and many have declined due to the 8 performances a week requirement and the physical aspects of the role. Amy Sedaris was one of the first offered to replace Cole Escola and she declined for the reasons mentioned. Jane Krakowski has even said she had anxiety after her first performances when it hit her - she had to give it 100% 8 performances a week. She was bruised up her entire run.

They just extended until January 10, 2027, so they most certainly have people coming down the pike. It’s just going to be a question of who and when. I’m wondering if we might get a return from Betty or Jane at some point, especially since the latter sold like hotcakes and added 4 extra weeks to her initial run.
Personally, I would LOVE a Bridget Everett Mary and a Jeff Hiller Abe. I could imagine Rachel Dratch taking a crack at the role when Rocky Horror ends. What’s also great about this show is that not every role needs to be a star casting decision, so you can get one or two and pretty much be set. That in mind, I’d love for Hannah to get a more extended run if they can get big stars for Abe and Teacher
The CD for this show really takes the chemistry of the different actors he hires very seriously, which is how we get some great combinations.

Jennifer Simard, Nathan Lane, Donna Murphy, Mary Testa, Jackie Hoffman.
Any of the Heated Rivalry fellas for Mary’s Teacher.

I saw someone mention Bridget Everett on Reddit and now I can't get that casting out of my head.

Everett as Mary and Jeff Hiller as Lincoln would be divine.

As long as a "name" wants to jump into this show, it'll keep running. This could turn into one of the longest running plays ever on Broadway. Sean Hayes? Megan Hilty? Simard? Tina Faye? There's an endless list of SNL actors that could do the role justice.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

If they could get Connor Storrie, it would be the absolute hottest ticket ON EARTH, right now.

Storrie would genuinely be great but the added security they would need...

It would be Julia Roberts level crowds for him combined with the Ricky Martin level of crazy fans.

And LOJ returning to Hamilton prices.
Whatever profit they made from a stunt like that could EASILY fuel the show for a year and make a cabal of producers VERY happy

Now imagining Julia Roberts in the role. That's infectious laugh.

Joel Kim Booster or Matt Rogers as Mary’s Teacher
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
