Yeah, I knew I'd get flak for that. :)
First I had hunk, and I knew that wasn't quite right. (Though I do find him hunky.)
Regardless, he doesn't strike me as the kind of twink type that East German soldier would have wanted to turn into a girl to marry.

Firstly - I wanna know if, when they record the cast album, they will invite us common folk to come and sing on the track for Wig in a Box?
Putting that aside, NPH has the same comedic timing and dry delivery that Mitchell gave Hedwig onstage. I think he's perfect in that aspect. It'll be interesting to see how he portrays femininity.

Posted: 6/17/13 at 7:21pmI love the idea of Jinkx Monsoon as Hedwig!!! They should at least let her be is understudy or alternate!

"This may be the thread that finally breaks BWW for me."
I know!
"When did BWW posters become the Tea Party for theatre-goers?"
I KNOW!
Well, at least it helps us calibrate which of these gerbronies are not worth taking seriously.

Neither does Michael Cerveris and his Hedwig was pretty well-lauded.

Posted: 6/17/13 at 7:25pmI ADORED MICHAEL'S TAKE ON HEDWIG!!! Now I am sure these gerbronies who saw him as Sweeney on the Tonys will assure us he had to have been ALL WRONG FOR HEDWIG.

Posted: 6/17/13 at 7:28pmI got distracted by your use of "gerbronies."

Posted: 6/17/13 at 7:29pmIt's the only word that fits.

Posted: 6/17/13 at 7:30pmI have an idea of what it means from the context, but have never seen/heard it used.

I actually heard the word as "jerblony" or "gerblony" years ago. But then Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson codified it as "gerbrony." As in, "It doesn't MATTER what you think! Gerbrony!"
That's why I think it works perfectly for the cray-crays in this thread.

Posted: 6/17/13 at 7:37pmIt apparently comes from "gibroni." It's Italian!

I'm happy to go with "gibroni," I wonder how to pluralize it? Like, who are the gibronis/gibronies who are worried NPH can't bring the femme?????

Among us "hed heads", there was always a debate over who was the best Hedwig after JCM. There were two major factions - those who said Cerveris and those who said Cahoon. I was on the Cerveris side.
Even JCM thought Michael sang the score better than he himself did.

I'd like to believe you're right, Namo, I really would.
'Course that shot was taken 10 years ago. A whole lot of guys can look pretty at 30 but like a man in a dress at 40.

Posted: 6/17/13 at 7:45pmFor what it's worth, the internets are telling me Harris in only 6 feet, so that's two less inches to be angry about.

Posted: 6/17/13 at 7:46pmI'm not sold on NPH but not for nothing, Cerveris was 39 when he was Hedwig.

Ok, so I guess there's going to be ever-shifting lines in the sand. Now it's age. Okay.
Oh, and Jane, I ADORED KEVIN CAHOON'S TAKE ON HEDWIG, TOO!

Uhhhhh... me, maybe (due to my earlier post)?
In spite of that picture, NPH was pretty masculine as the emcee. ...not there was any reason for him *not* to be...

Once again, I find it hysterical that if someone doesn't think the casting is appropriate, they're labeled as a "cray cray."
When did BWW posters become the Tea Party for theatre-goers?
I agree with this statement, but in the sense of people being lambasted for not loving NPH. No one has spewed any vitriol towards him, they've just expressed disinterest in this casting.
Why are they labeled crazy for not following the fold?

Posted: 6/17/13 at 8:22pmI don't like the casting but I understand why it is.
