"Alex Newell as Asaka again for sure. He was EVERYTHING on Broadway." DeAdra Walker

"The 2017 revival cast plus at least a cameo from LaChanze!!!" Tori Sostre

"I know first hand that hiring the Broadway company isn't always what Hollywood is seeking, and I get it. But anyone who can perform a show 8 times a week (sometimes 9, 16-19 times in a row during holidays/award season) is a ninja unicorn and they can do anything. This revival cast is why we tell the story and I sincerely hope they are sincerely considered." Josh Lamon

"Thou shalt not forget Hailey and Alex" Penny Knock
