The rumors have been going around for a little while that Taye Diggs would be the next hedwig after Darren Criss left, well seems mister Diggs may have given it away inadvertently based on this photo he just posted to twitter, notice what script happens to be in the bottom of the image.

I'd see him in a heartbeat.
Posted: 5/14/15 at 2:15am
Fantastic!
What a great choice.
Posted: 5/14/15 at 2:29am
I never really thought about it before but he'd make a very pretty lady.

I love Daddy, too.

If it were legitimate, wouldn't he be reading from a 3-hole punched script organized in a binder rather than the souvenir script that anyone can purchase at the concession stand?

These were taken at the tattoo parlor he went to get his ink done and its sitting on the arm rest, they may not have given him an official script yet and he's just doing some research by starting to read the script.
or he reads the broadway world message boards and has sucessfully trolled us lol

He was at the Turner upfronts for his television show and, according to a few sources there, it was confirmed.

I would see that! In a heartbeat.

He would get me back to the Belasco at least once.
And a hedwig AND Yitzhak of color on Broadway? Wow...

Oooooh how I want this to be true.
Posted: 5/14/15 at 9:35am
Not a fan of him, but that's great news! He'll do a great job!
Posted: 5/14/15 at 9:48am
Oh my god I gasped so loud when I saw this thread title! PLEASE let it be true!!!!!!! I adore him!
Posted: 5/14/15 at 9:49am
Or, you know, he could just be reading the script. Not saying that he won't be the next Hedwig, but this is hardly proof.

Very exciting! And he'd be the first Hurt Locker alum to step in as Hedwig. :)

I'd see the show again for him.

Oh my goodness...that would be so good to work in somehow.
Posted: 5/14/15 at 10:45am
I think it's a pretty great move all around. Good way for him to get back to the theater and he's definitely an audience draw. Plus, as others have said, about time for a Hedwig of color!
So, how bout we get Idina doing Yitzhak along side him? (Kidding obviously, but let that thought soak in for a moment)
Posted: 5/14/15 at 11:07am
"I love Daddy, too. "
My thoughts exactly.
Posted: 5/14/15 at 11:52am
Idina would be such a ridiculously fantastic Yitz that is hurts my soul we'll never get to see it

there it is folks. Just waiting on an official confirmation from the show. I still wonder if Diggs will start right after Criss. One of the main hold-ups in the contract talks was that Diggs can't start until sometime in September, possibly leaving a 6-8 gap in the schedule. I wonder if something got worked out??

Maybe they could get JCM to fill in the gap?
