If you could see anyone play Hedwig who would you pick? I would pick Jonathan Groff.

Kevin Cahoon or Gavin Creel would be two who (I believe) have played the role at some point and I would love to be able to see tackle it on Broadway.

My weird, out-there, pipe dream Hedwig: Jeremy Renner

After seeing him in Hamilton, I second Jonathan Groff .... he was hysterical.  He would make a fantastic Hedwig.

Others I have thought would be great if money was no object would be Jake Gyllenhaal, Jared Leto, Jamie Fox, Tom Cruise, and Jemaine Clement from Flight of the Conchords, and the voice of "Nigel" the thespian Cockatoo in the Rio animated movies.  Kristin Chenoweth plays his love interest, a frog, in case you have not seen it.  They share a beautiful and hilarious love ballad in Rio 2.

After thinking about it for a little bit, I think Jeremy Jordan could do something special with it. Maybe a few years down the road, though. Also, I'd love to see Lena play it! I second Gavin.

I would like to see NPH's Oscar buddy Jack Black stretch himself and try- his unique voice would fit the score like a glove

Jonathan Rhys-Myers would have been great in his prime too.

I didn't even have to think of these:

 

Jared Leto 

Lady Gaga 

P!nk

Justin Timberlake 

Joseph Gordon Levitt

and I think Lena Hall could kill it as well 

[Jamie Pierce]

Cheyenne Jackson.

A) I would love to see him in his underwear

B) I think he would sing it so beautifully. Although we've seen some amazing Hedwigs in this production, I don't think we've yet heard it sung to its full potential. I would love to hear a Cheyenne or a Jonathan Groff really give the score, particularly some of the lovelier tunes, its due.

I'm quite enjoying these as there are some I never would have thought of, but love. Mine would be Lenny Kravitz. A girl can dream, right?

Posted: 4/22/15 at 9:42am

Kyle Dean Massey! Or Billy Porter

[elderchistery]

Posted: 4/22/15 at 9:52am

I love all of the ones that have done it so far but lets see... Adam Lambert, Aaron Tveit, and i would also like to see Jonathan Groff. But I'm very excited for Darren Criss!

[dfrillsnedit]

Posted: 4/22/15 at 9:57am

Alan Cumming, especially after listening to this: https://youtu.be/1SAdNuhZT3M

Jared Leto

Davey Havok 

Lady Gaga (Who would actually be my dream Yitzhak, cause: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkWoA25V4tQ)

Hot damn, I would definitely pay to see Adam Lambert. 

[timisimaginary]

Posted: 4/22/15 at 10:29am

William Shatner

at the very least, i'd love to hear him "sing" Hedwig's Lament or Angry Inch.

and i suspect he could really relate emotionally to Wig in a Box.

Tony Yazbeck. Just imagine it. 

[Call_me_jorge]

Posted: 4/22/15 at 11:32am

Myself. Aaron Tveit would be an interesting Hedwig.

"I'm quite enjoying these as there are some I never would have thought of, but love. Mine would be Lenny Kravitz. A girl can dream, right?"

 This is the best thing I never thought of. Absolutely.
