I’d like to see Chaka Khan as Hermes.

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

I heard from my local high school cafeteria that it's Beanie Feldstein.

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

I think it would be really special if Anais herself played Hermes. It would be cool to see the writer of the piece tell the story.

Such a great idea!! But doubt she could do it since she's touring with her band bonny light horseman throughout the summer.

Since we’re spitballing - is it Whoopi?

Can Amber come back to the show as Hermes? I'd pay good money for that ![]()

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...

Well now I need that to happen but its not going to...

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.

Absolutely Not.

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?
