I heard a rumor about Amanda Palmer playing Hedwig in this tour.

I don't want to see a woman play Hedwig.

I think a woman playing Hedwig is an awesome idea, just not for the tour, where many people will being seeing the show for the first time.

There's a difference from seeing and hearing. Hedwig has a male voice. And Yitzhak has a female voice. (or soprano and all those correct words.. i don't know the right words.. but you know what i mean) Yes, they should of done it on broadway as replacement cast but not for an original cast for the tour.. Since I'm so used to hearing John Cameron Mitchell that if I were to hear a female voice I wouldn't like it at all. I'm not transphobic.. BTW *eye roll*

Wouldn't not wanting a woman make you more of a misogynist than a transphobe?!

 

Not to mention, an unsubstantiated rumor 12 months out isn't really cause to get too worried...

I agree with Jose - I would have loved to see a female on Broadway, but the tour will be many people's first introduction to the show, and I think it should be a man.

Let me make it more clear so people who love acting like superheroes don't come down my throat. I want to see Hedwig as close to the original production. That's it.

If you're referring to me, I'm not sure how. You introduced the absence of transphobia where nothing in either side of the argument was even trans to begin with, heh.

Amanda's voice is deeper than John's. And she's called a man, duh.

Ha! And she's marred to a gai man.

I'm quite excited to see the casting for this. I really think they're going to have a pull out some gigantic casting decision, since I don't see Hedwig as a brand doing so well in the flyover states without an NPH-caliber name attached to it.

It is still an unknown quantity how many cities the tour will include. They may concentrate on the bigger gayer cities.

Ha haterobics!  Talk about spiking the ball.

 

Boston killed the first Hedeig tour  it opened and closed there

Plenty of cities and dates are starting to surface for the Hedwig tour. I still can't help but wonder who might possibly play the two roles. Any rumors?

[Shrek3]

It was announced on playbill.com months ago. Daniel Radcliffe  is playing Hedwig on tour.

I'm so excited to catch this in Denver next year! I'm also quite curious to see who they cast! I would agree with the poster above that I'm assuming it needs to be a big name as Hedwig itself probably couldn't pull a lot of non theater-loving people into the theater. Any thoughts on pulling someone from the most recent run onto the tour? I could see Darren Criss doing the tour, even though he wasn't most people's favorite Hedwig.

Rumors had been circulating that James Snyder will be Hedwig, but they went away.

Ha. I don't mean to make that a rumor! I heard it several times but not from people who know anything! Hedheads who heard it at Hamilton lottery.

I can't tell if this is supposed to be a joke. That was never announced & isn't happening.

My biggest nightmare is JCM doing a stint as King George... how much damage that would do to my credit cards...
