"Would love to see Christoph Waltz  give Hedwig a shot."

 

That is an inspired choice.  I don't know if he can sing? 

If he can .... wow, he would be quite interesting.  And he doesn't have to work on the German/Austro-Hungarian accent lol.

I would love to see him in a play on Broadway - he is one of my very favorite actors.

Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker rotating performances.

"Jane2 mentioned that a woman has played Hedwig before.
I can't recall who. I'm thinking Ally Sheedy, but that can't be right....
Anyway, a famous actress has played the role before so it can be done.
 
ETA: It was Ally Sheedy, Off-Broadway."

It was Ally Sheedy.  I never saw her but heard she was terrible.

From the 70's this is priceless:

Maybe Joseph Gordon-Levitt is finally available

Outside-the-box idea I think would be surprisingly good: Jack Black

Inside-the-box idea that I'm sort of surprised no one has suggested: Gerard Way

Bad idea that I kind of want to see anyway: Ty Burrell (who, far as I know, can't sing, but has an extremely Hedwig sense of comic timing and vocal phrasing)

James Earl Jones and Cicely Tyson (or Vanessa Redgrave).

Tim Minchin would be an interesting choice- and he has the most vocal resemblance to JCM of anyone else working, actually.

I was actually thinking today of Tim Minchin as Hedwig...   he could be a great choice.

They should be announcing the next Hedwig soon, no? I feel as though Darren was announced early in Johns run. Anyone have the scoop?? Very eager to hear who they get!

Thank you skies! That was wonderfully entertaining. Everyone, please watch the "Sesame Street" clip toward the bottom :o)

I am really hoping for someone brilliant. Aside from JCM, no one has had me interested or rushing to see the show again for their portrayal.

I've always wondered what Raul Esparza would do with Hedwig.

[GreasedLightning]

Posted: 5/3/15 at 11:31pm

Now THAT I would see. I'd run to it, honestly. 

[ChairinMain]

Maybe Ceveris would come back once his contract with Fun Home is up. And I can still dream of Alan Cumming in the role, right? Because that would be practically metatheatrical.

darrens going to extend to August and then they have another person coming in for about 10 weeks.

Fine.  I'll do it.

 

but that makeup better be hypo-allergetic

"I've always wondered what Raul Esparza would do with Hedwig"

This is something Raul would love to do. Personally, I just don't see it, as big a fan of him that I am.

Pink.  She'd be terrific.

[GreasedLightning]

Posted: 5/4/15 at 11:26am

To me, being a "second generation" (maybe third?) Hedwig fan, I feel like the whole idea is to have a woman play Yitzhak and a man play Hedwig. Pink would be phenomenal, but I feel like the gender change would throw me off.

"darrens going to extend to August and then they have another person coming in for about 10 weeks."

 

 

sort of. There might be a small gap between Criss and the new Hedwig coming in for the Fall. We might possibly see Michael C. Hall or Rannells return for a few weeks. Or they could try and get Criss to extend [again].

Please bring back MCH!!!

Any word on who will be after Criss? Hints?
