sgv, I actually heard that Josh won't be going to London and instead will be sticking around on broadway to take over Andrew Kober's Tribe track/the role of Margaret Mead. I heard this from someone who asked him, so, I'm not sure if his response was misunderstood or anything like that, though.
I've heard that Paris and most likely Jackie will be staying in New York, and on Sunday someone asked him if there was a chance of him playing a role instead of a tribe track. His response was that anything's possible, but that most of the cast is kind of in the dark about where they'll end up.

On twitter about 3 weeks ago, he flat out said( in a reply to someone) that he was going. A couple of days ago here is what was said:
@joshlamon:see you in april! xx
@HAIR_UKfans: some big news came my way and things are very much up in the air. news to come though.
I guess within the last week or so he may have changed his mine. It would be awesome if he does stay. I would love Jackie to replace Caissie-if she goes- as I have been wanting to see her since the show opened.

It would actually be more sensible to keep some of the cast in the show, especially those who have understudied and are familiar with the lead roles. Paris has understudied Claude, Jackie - Sheila, Bryce - Berger, Josh - MM/Mother, not sure about Jay, he understudied Woof though.
Mere speculation, I will say it is going to be interesting to see how it all turns out. I personally think it is a great show and a new cast can keep it that way. At least I hope so, if not it would be a shame.
Vannesa Ray was great last night as Crissy!

I kinda hope that Bryce takes over for Will in March, because it makes more sense to give it to someone who has performed it before rather than give it to someone new for a few months then tell them they're done when Will returns. At least that's my opinion on the situation. Who knows what will happen.

I heard it from him as well.
it will definitely be interesting to see what happens, but I'm excited to see a new cast.

We don't really no for sure yet. All we know for sure is that allison guinn, gavin creel, andrew kober, and john moauro are going to london. It seems like nobody else has explicitly stated they are going...all we can do is speculate. Like people have said though, Josh Lamon appears as though he is staying and it sounds like paris and jackie are too.

Bryce has played the role once...
Yesterday, Matt DeAngelis posted on facebook that he is also going to London (for 6 months).
Wasn't it such a big to-do that the ENTIRE original Broadway revival cast was going to London?
I guess that idea didn't last long.
Michael James Scott and Ato Blankson Wood are also going to London.

I'm deciding whether or not i want to see Hair in two weeks when i'm in NY. Just a couple of questions. Are Gavin, Will, Caissie, and Sasha still in the show, and will they be there in two weeks?
They SHOULD be...but you just never know.
(The cast that IS leaving for London isn't going until the 2nd week of March)
Gavin said his last show is March 7
^Thank you guys so much! This makes me happy. :) So i guess Alison is officialy gone now too/
Rentfan931, you do know that if any of the cast members go to London that their time with Hair is done when their contract in London is up right?

I wonder why no one would be coming back from London to do Hair in NY again? Is that what the producers decided?
It wasn't the choice of the cast for that to happen. It was the choice of the producers and something that the producers made out as a rule for those that go to do the show in London. I am guessing that anyone who does go over there wouldn't be able to return to the Broadway production due to the fact that their role has been recast.

So do we know if Allison's going to London with the cast.
Yes, Case is going to London.
