I heard that Kevin Bacon inquired about starring in the show.
"I'm also glad you think the cross section needed for the show to succeed is "Chelsea queens who aren't theatre nerds."

I'm still voting for Cheyenne Jackson. I would love to hear him sing the score / be in his underwear.
Ok, so this Jim Parsons idea seems a bit off to me. I fear he would look too awkward and out-of-place for a rock musical. So many people see him only as Sheldon Cooper, and, from what I've seen of his work outside The Big Bang Theory, he's either too similar to Cooper on a personal level or relies too heavily on the "schtick" he's developed with that particular role to really make other characters believable.
Jeremy Renner seems like a pretty cool choice. Casting P!nk as Yitzhak (with an unknown as Hedwig) wouldn't be a bad idea, either.
