Theatre fans are abuzz with reports of a 2014 Broadway revival of Cabaret, featuring Alan Cumming reprising his performance as the dark and deviant Master of Ceremonies who first invites audiences to "come to the cabaret."

While no official announcement has been made, Cabaret composer John Kander confirmed to the New York Times that Cumming was attached to star in a 2014 Broadway revival for the Roundabout Theatre Company.

The news sparked several reports of who would nab the delectable central role of Sally Bowles in the revival of the 1966 classic – including Anne Hathaway (whose reps stated she would not star) and "Easy A" star Emma Stone.

Our readers responded strongly to the various casting reports, and Playbill.com decided to open up the dialogue to allow them to share their picks for whom they'd like to see play Sally – a role originated by Jill Haworth, and later played by such actresses as Judi Dench, Liza Minnelli, Natasha Richardson and more.
