I wonder just out curiosity what Alice ripley would be like as Persephone
I know she’s in the Company revival opening next month so it’s pretty much a given that it won’t happen anytime soon, but I would sell my soul for Katrina Lenk as Persephone.
While seeing the show, Erykah Badu briefly crossed my mind as Persephone.
Badu is busy selling incense that smells like her vagina. Seriously.
And the only other person I can think of to play Hades is Marc Kudisch, but he’s with “Girl From The North Country”.

Would also throw money (and maybe elbows if necessary) to see that.

Yeah. Just saw that this morning. But her store is online. I think she could juggle the two! Amber just has flashes of Badu in her voice and Badu could handle the acting. JMO
and then at the merch stand you can buy her vagcense. lol

lol That crossed my mind also!! Too funny!
Auli’l Cravalho as Eurpahice would be amazing!
Just remembered that Afra Hines is starting a leave of absence on 2/8. Does anyone know who's filling in for her?

Aaron tveit has perfect attendance in moulin rouge as well.

Kim Steele –not to be confused with Kimberly Marable, the other female worker who doesn't like to be called Kim— is taking over Afra’s worker track as well as understudying Persephone. She was recently in My Fair Lady and Summer.

Thank you so much!
Slightly off topic but related question: Do the three women who cover the fates each cover all three roles, or do they each cover only one or two?

Jessie Ryan covers Kay and Yvette’s fates
Khalia Wilcoxon covers all three
Kimberly Marable covers Jewelle’s fate but a few weeks ago there was an emergency because Eva, Yvette, and Kay were all out so Khalia went on for Euridyce and Jessie went on for Yvette so Kimberly had to learn Kay’s track in a few hours and went on for her. Not sure if she's now permanently covers the role.
How about Patina Miller for Persephone? I think one of the former Javerts could be a good Hades replacement.
Wait... Joshua Henry would be so good as Hermes

Love this idea. Patina needs to get back on stage!
Ben Vereen seems like a great Hermes, if he's up for it.

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."
Why would Reeve want to vacation with Eva? I'm a newbie, so please excuse if this is a stupid question.

Isn't Eva married to someone else?
Shuler Hensley would be my top choice for Hades, though he’d be busy with The Music Man starting this fall
