2016 - 2017 Touring Season — Page 3

Just got the news about Hedwig coming to SF, I am boy scared and excited. I really want to see it, but I'm scared about who would be playing her. I feel like I'm already lucking out getting to be on the list of cities that are getting Idina in If/Then, so we won't be lucky enough to have someone awesome as Hedwig too lol fingers crossed though! (I've been eh on the last few seasons here, so I'm so happy things are looking up. I'm still really pissed at myself for not getting tickets to the prebroadway run of Beautiful though. I was such a dope, there was something nagging at me to do it, but I never did. boy did I miss out.)

"Hedwig is a boy. He only got his sex changed.. well sort of.. to go to America."

 Oh oops, I haven't seen the movie in a LOOOOOONG time so I don't remember much about it, and I could have sworn I had heard female pronouns being used. Thanks for correcting me! I really don't like getting things like that wrong.

There is a thread just for this topic. He is a guy. He never felt he was a woman. Or wanted to be a woman.

""Hedwig was born a boy, had a sex change, and presents as female and uses a female name through most of the show. People use female pronouns to refer to her. John Cameron Mitchell uses female pronouns to refer to her."
 Ok, so I actually was right then? "

In my opinion, yes. Hedwig is subject to interpretation like any work of art, and her gender is complicated, and I would say, non-binary (or genderfluid). Saying she's a boy and using male pronouns are certainly non-standard. I can see why someone might interpret the work that way, but it's an odd thing to correct the use of female pronouns and state she's a boy like it's a known, accepted fact. I'll keep using the pronouns her creator uses.

Well, it did tour before opening on Broadway.  I saw it in Chicago.  I didn't care for the new staging at all.

I missed it. the tour was here in L.A. in 2011... 4 LONG years ago :p

The original staging had the slow-mo death specials too 

John Cameron Mitchell HAS to launch the Hedwig tour...

IN SAN FRANCISCO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Watch for it, will bet he does the SF and LA legs.....

Tony Danza Will Lead Honeymoon in Vegas National Tour!

Given how poorly the show did and I doubt Vanessa, Corey, or Victoria will tour, so I doubt it will tour.

Any news of another Newsies tour? Perhaps a return to Chicago?

Will Newsies go on tour in 2016-2017? By making a return trip to the bigger cities like Chicago that it went to this first tour?

I really want On the Twentieth Century to tour. I have the cast recording and I would love to hear that amazing score live. With Kristin or not.

In the show Hedwig. He is playing 2 people. He also plays Tommy in the end.
