While I’m not at liberty to spoil the fun and say who, the next Hermes will be a woman."

Anymore hints you could give?? (I'm really eager to know honestly) Thanks!!

My disclaimer here is that of course I can never really guarantee if these things are true. I was given a (frankly shocking) name but it seems even if they don’t get her, it’ll still be a woman. Zero clue where NPH came from.

People have been saying that Lady Gaga wants to do a Broadway show…

no way he will commit to that....he hasn't even done a proper tour since 2008?

I personally could see Heather Headley making an AMAZING Hermes especially after seeing her performance as the witch in Into the Woods.

That would be amazing, actually.

Well if we are creating bandwagon for dreamcasts here, I want to throw in Lillias White in the mix. She would be just glorious and bring the same gravitas that De Shields did.

I'm guessing its a big enough show that even he's a vacation fill in its worth it for him (MM is my guess) but he has a Netflix series premiering soon and they're already writing a second season so he won't commit to something for a year...

If you gave her two shots of something strong enough to make her forget she's being perceived, she'd be a great Persephone.

Ever since my first viewing shortly after the show opened, I've always pictured Billy Porter as the obvious replacement for Andre de Shields.

Billy Porter would be great. I also like the idea of Lillias White.

I had never thought of this but wow. I want this to happen so bad.

I saw someone say that a casting notice went out last week…I’m assuming someone dropped out if they are still looking for casting just two weeks away?


I am big. It’s the REVIVALS that got small.
