Sure... but just because it’s pilot season doesn’t mean someone IS leaving. Depending if someone booked a pilot or not...... lol.
Speaking of, how has attendance of original cast been recently?

Andre De Shields has been out quite a bit recently. Anthony Chatmon has been going on for Hermes a lot, and debuted the role with 20 minutes notice to curtain. I think Eva Noblezada might have missed some performances too. Jessie Shelton's instagram bio says "Upcoming: ...stay tuned..." which implies she might have another project in the works.

Good for him being out “quite a bit” He has been in every show since the first preview. A few days off or other projects are well deserved

This includes zero vacation days - I wonder if he has a trip coming up soon? He’d probably want to vacation with Eva, but it could be tricky having them both out at the same time. Although, Mean Girls has given Erika Henningson & Kyle Selig two weeks off at the same time, so it’s possible.

Amber recently signed on to do a mini series, I believe, so maybe her? I wouldn't be surprised if they all continue with the show for a bit longer. At the very least, I hope casting is thinking about people to replace Patrick, Amber, and Andre it seems like it will be a tall order. They are all so unique and wonderful.

Personally, I'd love to see Rachel Zegler take on Eurydice, whether on Broadway or on the national tour. She adores the show (I actually met her when she was there) and has the voice and acting chops for sure!

It would be cool if Chris Sullivan returned as Hermes..."
It would be amazing - I greatly prefer Chris and his take on the role.

Chris was great at NYTW. His interpretation is very different than Andre's. Both are fantastic IMO.

I'd love to see Billy Porter as Hermes.

I think Florence Welch (Florence + The Machine) would make an interesting and different Persephone, but then I think about going gender blind and casting her as Orpheus. She dressed very androgynously/presented as a male in the Sweet Nothing video, and I'm sure she could pull off the look of the role. Not sure if she can play guitar, but I'm sure she could learn what she needs to know. I think she would sing Orpheus' songs so gorgeously. Wait For Me would sound INCREDIBLE.

I second Rachel Zegler as Eurydice!

I don’t know anyone who could fill hades. Honestly.
I’d love to see brendon urie as orpheus which I know would never happen."
Patrick Page's bass is so unique. I feel like whoever takes on the role of Hades next would have to have a different take on the character. And don't get me wrong, that could be interesting!

Oh, he would be incredible. And who knows, he does love musical theater. Unless the fan craziness from Kinky Boots scared him away...
