I don't think that they've announced it yet and I have no clue how well they're doing, but Cabaret will be closing in a few months so maybe Alan Cumming will be interested.
Even if they have someone already lined up, they are.t going to announce it this early.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)
I feel like if they were closing, they'd announce it, to drive as much sales into JCM run as possible. So, I'm assuming theyre going to recast or extend with JCM.
i can't imagine this show is very expensive to run, so unless they can't find anyone to do the role I'm sure they'll recast and keep going.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.
Anthony couldn't be the next Hedwig without a JCM extension, as JCM runs through 3/14 and Anthony is in If/Then through 3/22. Not sure how much time it would take him to even rehearse it and such if it were the case...
Never got to see Anthony do it in Pittsburgh, though, so I'd totally be fine with that.
What about Adam Pascal or John Stamos? Yes, I know keeping up the trend of every male that has played the Emcee in the last Cabaret revival haha. I think they would both do a great job though!
I've heard Jared Letos name floated recently, he can sing and has some major acting credibility now with the oscar win behind him (and hell the part he played in Dallas Buyers Club was pretty similar to Hedwig in a sense)
