New Cabaret casting spring 2025?

Any word or rumblings on who will replace Adam Lambert in the spring? I had heard his contract expires around March 23. I’m wondering if we could see a return of Eddie Redmayne for a brief 6-8 week stint. Or if they would be looking at someone else. I’m curious who they would consider - especially given the fact that this show seems to require a real name to sell.
I would of course love to see TImothee Chalamet as the emcee. Or Austin Butler. Even just to carry the show through the summer.

You open productions with names like Chalamet and Butler- you don’t put them in as second replacements in a tepidly received production.

Maybe its just me, but I feel like Timothee Chalamet and Austin Butler now are bigger stars than Emma Stone was in 2014.

I don't think his ego would let him be a replacement, but Ben Platt seems ripe for this.

She’s responsible for Chicago’s best box office numbers in recent history, she had a sold out run in Little Shop, she’s got a Carnegie Hall performance coming up in February, and she regularly sells out her touring shows. She’s certainly more equipped and proven than many who’ll be in the mix for it.

Ben & Michaela round two in the cards, perhaps? ✨

You know it’s prob going to be Aaron or Sutton lol

just close it, it had a fun run

I would want nothing more than for Mason Alexander Park to reprise their performance from London, but I don't think they could sell out houses night after night.

As for Sally Bowles, if they want to have MASSIVE sell-out crowds, then they should have BIG names like Zendaya, Dove Cameron, or even Renee Rapp. Zendaya alone could pack houses night after night. Then they don't have to have as big of a name for the Emcee.
