Lillias White will be the new Hermes in Hadestown! — Page 3

They should bring back Kingsley leggs(I honestly thought that’s why he left little shop so he could do the tour) or Chris Sullivan. The idea they’d cast a star in the show doesn’t make sense to me they aren’t selling horribly

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



I'll mention it to Billy the next time I see him walking his dog in the neighborhood.

That would be INCREDIBLE!

Can Hermes be gender swapped? Appears it can, but Hermes had relationships with females prior to this.

Olympus forbid they gender swap a mythical Greek god. JFC.

And the current Hermes is played by an openly gay actor

The rumor I've heard is that the producers are actively courting Johnny Depp for a role in this production. They feel his trial has once again made him a household name and they want to capitalize on it.

And that happens all the time. My point is that can Hermes, a.male Greek God, be played by a female?

I get it. so every role on Broadway should be allowed to be played by any gender and nobody should question it?

They’re mythical figures. They weren’t real. Is anyone home? Hello???

You know Hermes is not a real person right? If they were it might be different. But even then, yeah, I’m open to changing up the gender if it brings and interesting take to the role. He’ll, I thought Grace McClean did a great job in her role in Suffs…you know she played a real, male historical figure right?
