"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.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

"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.

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)

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.

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.

"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.

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].

 

A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.
