We already know Diana is Sheila and Ace is Berger
I can't wait until the rest of the cast is announced!
Tuesday can't get here fast enough!!

I think the people that were featured on the Broadway.Com video of the Open Call will be in the cast.
I think Ace will look good in Berger's loin cloth.
Really excited to hear the news!

LOL guys, again with all this SPECULATION of the new cast!! Ya’ll are making yourselves crazy!! An OFFICIAL announcement is coming next week. I think we all know that nothing is definite when RUMORS come into play, so let’s have the Hair peeps tell us OFFICIALLY Tuesday what’s up with the new cast!

Who's speculating? It's been announced that Diana and Ace are coming to the show, but they never announced the part Diana is playing. And with the comments of her playing Sheila, I think that's more of an intuition feeling especially with Jackie leaving March 7th.
Anyone know when this is supposed to happen?
I hear Annaleigh Ashford is joining the cast via someone over at Wicked.
The press conference is being held at 2:00pm... so in about an hour.
Geez, there's a press conference? Just send an f-ing release! This is so silly.
"Geez, there's a press conference? Just send an f-ing release! This is so silly."
- Agreed. Why does this need a press conference?
Well that's pretty... formal of them
I wouldn't mind if Annaleigh joined the cast. I like her. I could see her as Jeanie, but more so as Chrissy.
Anyway, I am looking forward to the announcement.

I can't help feeling like the actual substance of the announcement is not going to live up to the hype they've placed on the giving of the announcement. I hope I'm wrong!
Better be A-list celebrities for a press conference!
Could they be having the new cast (or someone from the cast) perform something?
They're already in rehearsal, so it's possible. I should hope so, if they insist on being so formal about it!
FWIW, Kevin Kern and Megan Lawrence will be in the London cast.

They began rehearsals last week. Expect a few Hairspray alumni.
Harvey Fierstein as Claude!
I can't believe a replacement cast requires a press conference. How completely unnecessary.
This wait is totally unnecessary. The only hype they'll get from such a wait is from people like us who check Playbill and BWW. Hardly the people they need to hype the announcement up to.
