I wonder how it will be cast, agewise. I wonder if it will take place in the here and now, like the original did.

Great news, though. This is such a wonderful show.

The film is better.

Ok....flipping out right now! I've only seen it live once in Philly, but it still remains my all time favorite show. Well, I've also heard Kevin Cahoon sing Origin of Love, but it was at a concert.

Friggin sweet. I'll be fully moved in by that point so I won't miss it. I hope they consider Ewan Morton for the role or bringing back Cahoon as I never got to see his Hedwig.

I have never been so close to peeing my pants!! And I've always thought the ZIPPER would be perfect!! What a great venue, and so glad its happening!!!!!!

Anthony Rapp MUST reprise his performance for a New York audience. He was brilliant!!

Hated Rapp in the role. I would love to see a fresh face we know nothing about kick the **** out of it.

This is Amazing news!

David Colbert from the national tour would be amazing. I saw him here in Louisville and he was so great, very different from JCM, but incredible in his own right.

I am SO EXCITED!

[misschung]

good luck with the audition! I'd love to be in that show - I am anxious to see who is cast

[Fenchurch]

For a minute I thought you meant Stephen Colbert, I think that would be HILARIOUS

[misschung]

I found it so random that Anthony Rapp performed that role. Granted the music has traces of Rent in it. I really want to see this live, I love the music

[shesamarshmallow]

I would pay $10000 to see Stephen Colbert play Hedwig.

thank goodness they chose an appropriate venue. If not the Jane St., the Zipper will do!

Very cool!

Yeah, an actor who has done musicals before doing another musical is the very epitome of random.

Yes, that's exactly what I meant by my original comment.
