Is CITY CENTER sending out those offers, as in they are intending to self-produce this transfer?
I can't think of any "stunt" casting that would be remotely appropriate for Fabrizio. They'd be lucky to get an Il Volo guy (who would mean nothing at the box office).
I’m having a tough time thinking of a twenty-something year old star who can both pull off Fabrizio and help sell tickets.

Aaron is old enough to play Frabrizio’s father

Andrew Barth Feldman comes to mind, not sure how much his name means to the broader non-theater audience but he's been in a few high profile movies and I'm sure is getting publicity through Little Shop as well. Maybe someone like Joshua Bassett but I'm not sure how much he'd want to take on a role that seems to be more on the supporting side.
Can we please just ignore this loser? They'd be gone in a week if they didn't get attention.
Back to the main question of replacement:
Nicholas Hoult, Chris Pine, Timothée Chalamet, Nicholas Galitzine, Jacob Elordi, Austin Butler, and of course, Tom Holland, would all make a good amount of change at the box office (If Matthew Morrison could play this role, who I adored in this role, so can all of the above). Wishful thinking, but I can see any one of them doing it for the cred (and a potential Tony), despite the massive pay loss, provided its a short dedication. Whether they can sing is another matter.

Chris Pine is way too old (handsome, but looks older than he is IMO). Why would any of them take on a supporting role in a show that is sorta niche in the first place. Unless there is some TV person I am not thinking of (like the Hearststopper duo) who can sing and wants a chance to play Broadway, they are going to have a problem.
One thing I am unclear about: is this going to happen or is it a fishing expedition? I think that would be great at the Booth.
Chris Pine is in his 40's, but the others are fine for the role.

I didn’t say they were not…just that I did not see any of them even giving it a second thought, assuming they even had strong enough voices. It would not make any sense to me.
This is an opera roll essentially. James had the perfect voice for it, much better than Morrison. I like many of the movie names thrown around a few posts back but I don’t think any of them can sing the part remotely well
