New Hedwig after JCM?

Has there been any announcement for the new Hedwig after JCM? Will it close after him? I would assume not since it's doing really well (I think).

I don't think that they've announced it yet and I have no clue how well they're doing, but Cabaret will be closing in a few months so maybe Alan Cumming will be interested.

Even if they have someone already lined up, they are.t going to announce it this early.

The recent NYT article about JCM seemed to indicate that either John will extend or a new Hedwig will be brought in and it will continue to run.

"The recent NYT article about JCM seemed to indicate that either John will extend or a new Hedwig will be brought in and it will continue to run."

Unless they were announcing the closing, they will always say this, though, no?

I feel like if they were closing, they'd announce it, to drive as much sales into JCM run as possible. So, I'm assuming theyre going to recast or extend with JCM.

i can't imagine this show is very expensive to run, so unless they can't find anyone to do the role I'm sure they'll recast and keep going.

I saw Anthony Rapp play the role once in Pittsburgh and I would love to see him do it in NYC

Anyone but Anthony Rapp

I agree. Please keep Anthony Rapp as far away from this role as possible.

Anthony couldn't be the next Hedwig without a JCM extension, as JCM runs through 3/14 and Anthony is in If/Then through 3/22. Not sure how much time it would take him to even rehearse it and such if it were the case...

Never got to see Anthony do it in Pittsburgh, though, so I'd totally be fine with that.

Adam Lambert, Tim Minchin, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Amanda Palmer... There are some pretty cool routes they could go...

Lambert is a judge on American Idol this season, and just announced he is with a new label to start recording his third album, so no Hedwig for him.

All of the potential Hedwigs have been discussed over and over again in many threads at this point, though.

Amanda Palmer would be a horrible choice. Plus she'd probably just play herself, not the character.

From what I've heard, it's not anyone who's been mentioned here yet. But there will indeed be another Hedwig after JCM.

I would love to see P!nk, probably the only women I'd ever want to see in the role. Wait, or Jenny Lewis.

Ewan McGregor, please. (Velvet Goldmine, anyone?)

wickedrocks, care to give us a hint? :)

What about Adam Pascal or John Stamos? Yes, I know keeping up the trend of every male that has played the Emcee in the last Cabaret revival haha. I think they would both do a great job though!

I've heard Jared Letos name floated recently, he can sing and has some major acting credibility now with the oscar win behind him (and hell the part he played in Dallas Buyers Club was pretty similar to Hedwig in a sense)

How awesome would it be if they film JCM's performance?? I would die.

I hope upon hope that they record JCM. There's no way I can get to see him so that would make my year.

I would absolutely freak out if Ewan McGregor came next.
