Uwe Kroger?

"no, plus I think he is too old at this point (although it pains me to say this).

I need to know!!! Can we have more hints?
Ewan McGregor?
John Cameron Mitchell? His movie is finished shooting, I think.
Michael Cerveris would be my absolute dream though.

Fine, I'll do a random word-vomit list...
Bertie Carvel
Jonathan Groff
Daniel Radcliffe
Ramin Karimloo
Jefferson Mays
John Barrowman
I'm still stuck on the "native accent" clue, but Barrowman crossed my mind earlier as well.

Per SHN, it's opening tonight though I didn't see any notice that the Oct. 2 and 4 shows were previews except the tickets were cheaper I think.

I can't see most of the names mentioned doing a tour. But Euan Morton sounds like a great guess.

I'm dying to know. Can you just tell us? or give us the date it will be announced so we can stop waiting?
Euan Morton is pretty much my dream Hedwig so I would travel to see him in this if he plays the role.
Someone look for hints from Iain.
I'll guess and say JCM. Makes sense. If not, I'd love for Barrowman.

This is a nice interview with Lena-- she touches on how she was offered the role and says she will only be doing the SF and LA stops.

You would think he would want to scoop everyone. Breaking news: My daddy's Hedwig!

Who saw the show tonight?
Anything new, interesting or noteworthy?

Has there been any new merch for the show? If there's a Lena magnet, would someone be willing to pick one up for me?

What about Martin Wallstrom? He might be good- though I doubt he'd do it or have time to do it.
^^ Didn't work for me for some reason?
