"That said, both Cerveris and JCM would run through their fan base rather quickly. "
"100% agree."
Still, short term, I'd think it would be a great and profitable idea for either or both of them to do it. I don't know how prepared JCM is, but I believe Cerveris could step into the role tomorrow. It would also be amusing with the Hurt Locker tie-in.
JT would be ideal! IMO, he has many of the same qualities as NPH. And you know who else (pop star-wise) would be rather intriguing...Gaga. If there were ever a modern-day descendent of Bowie, it's her.
He was on their wishlist I think. I personally don't think he'll do it. It's not the kind of role he'll take on. Lady Gaga would cost too much and has a tour coming up.
There was an article where they said they wanted people who could do the role justice.
PS-Rannells is great. I would hardly be heartbroken if he extended.
Sorry if this has been discussed, but Telecharge is now selling tickets through the end of November!!! That's a good sign! It also looks on the official HEDWIG site that it reverts back to Neil's 7 show a week schedule after Rannell's run is over. Interesting!!!
^^ I realize that, but they used to only be selling up through Andrew's final performance. Why bother adding more performances after he is set to leave just to go ahead and close it, when they simply could have just let it lie? My thought is they already have things lined up for when he does leave, but haven't announced yet to overshadow his first few performances.
