LOL.  In other words, you made me laugh out loud.

"I heard from a source the producers were actually toying around with the idea of having a female Hedwig... Which that kind of 'choice' would seriously depend on the actress, imo"

From an interview with JCM last month:

"In the meantime, I hope Hedwig continues its run on Broadway. Who are some of the performers you’d like to see play the character?

I’d love to see a woman. It would have to be the right woman. I think it wouldn’t have been right to star* with a woman because of what it’s about. We are about artifice and it’s theater and we have a woman playing a man already. I think it works best when you have already had men playing the role so you can add this experience to it. It would have to be the right woman, just as it has to be theright man. I’d love to see Justin Timberlake do it and Lady Gaga. They’re people who have the skills who I don’t think have used them all at the same time in an emotionally substantial piece. They’ve acted well, sang and danced in good things, but this would be putting that all together in something that has a lot of weight to it dramatically. Some of these people we think of as incredible entertainers might find it a great challenge. It would really exciting to see these incredible rock stars really act in something like this."

(* this is probably a typo for "start" )

Joey McIntyre is a splendid idea. He took over for Raul in Tick Tick Boom and nailed it.

Since they don't mind skewing younger, now that we've seen a black Hedwig works and doesn't upset the racial dynamic of the Hansel story, I'd kill to see Donald Glover.

I would love to see Juliette Lewis in the role or Jared Leto. Screwing younger and not as well known, I think Scott Hoying (or Mitch Grassi) from Pentatonix would be killer. Not sure about sales, but they'd be amazing.

My dream casting(s), which, in the right dimension could be totally plausible:

--Raul Esparza

--Jeremy Kushnier

--Ewan McGregor

--Chiwetel Ejifor (I have no idea if he can sing, but I love how his voice just sounds)

--Nate Ruess

--Rufus Wainwright

I don't have a specific actor or actress in mind. I am just so curious who it's going to be since we have no rumors whatsoever right now.

Hopefully they will announce him/her very soon. They did announce Darren and Taye only a month into the previous Hedwig's run so fingers crossed.

I'm going to throw Colman Domingo out there as an idea.

I like the threads after they announce the next Hedwig, and everyone piles on as to why they are wrong for the part, better.

Frogs, I mentioned Colman in another thread on this subject.  He would absolutely kill as Hedwig, but I'm afraid he's not a big enough name.

thank you, Philly, anyone who loves my baby is ok with me.

I'll post a video of her talking when I get a good one!

(I know this isn't a thread about Jezebel, but I don't know if a thread about her is necessary.)

I don't know any rumors but it'd be cool if they cast an actual trans woman!
