Jinkx was asked on Vulture’s Good One podcast (posted earlier today) who should play Mary next, and the names she listed were:
…honestly? Yes please to all of the above. They also suggested BD Wong as Abe.

Jenn was back, Tony was still out last night."
Tony was out of both shows today.
I knew Jinkx had it in her (loved her in LITTLE SHOP and PIRATES!), but I didn’t know she was going to bring it like that.
I wish I had bought tickets to go a second time before prices went through the roof. She’s my favorite Mary thus far, even including Cole. Brava, Jinkx!
This entire new cast is fantastic, in fact. This is easily the best shape the show’s been in since the original cast. If they can manage to continually make such inspired casting choices, I wouldn’t be mad if this ran forever.
