HEDWIG TOUR — Page 6

Oh, I wish I could see Lena again, but I can't make her other show days. I also wish they'd release a recording of her as Hedwig.

Good description of Lena's performance here: http://www.gabbinggeek.com/2016/10/11/theater-geek-lena-hall-is-the-ultimate-hedwig/

"Ms. Hall ripped through the music like a scalpel through butter...Ms. Hall’s voice pushed her pain into everyone...The rage was palpable, intense."

I saw Lena on Sunday too. She's a force of nature--just a beautiful, masterful, revelatory performance. She's now probably my favorite Hedwig after JCM. And the tour looks fantastic!

Maybe me, but I didn't think it felt run down on Broadway at all. I was actually impressed by how much production there actually was.

Does Hedwig still rise up for the ballad at the end? I remember them going up on a pedestal that came from the stage? I'm guessing the stage was built up as they use to go into a trap door for the car sequence?

I think it's very likely but someone said earlier in the thread that he heard that Darren and Lena are done after LA.

If that's the case, I think Shannon will take over Yitzhak and someone will be castes for Hedwig.

I don't see why not? I mean, no offense, but it's a sweet gig for both of them. Don't see why they wouldn't do like Chicago, etc.

^ This is some of the most random casting I've ever heard.

I don't think it's random at all. Euan can handle the score, is comfortable in drag and is one hell of an actor.

BC, I do agree that we are used to hearing a higher profile name, since Hedwig may have trouble filling bigger theatres. That being said Euan is a solid talent-one who has been absent for far too long.

I'm surprised Shannon Conley is staying on as the standby for the tour. I thought for sure she would've been promoted to lead Yitzhak by now

Ahh, so excited for this! He will be stunning.

And congrats to Alix for correctly guessing Euan earlier in the thread. I think he'll be absolutely terrific in the role. Just have to wait until May!

Lena merch coming!

If anyone is going to see or has seen the tour with Lena (or Darren) and is able to get me a Playbill I would be really grateful (and will to pay shipping). I would also love a Hurtlocker the Musical Playbill from the tour if possible!
