Official JCM as Hedwig (2015 Edition) Thread — Page 20

I saw Hedwig this past Wednesday, the 4th. He did the flying entrance, but looked a bit shaky on it. I would guess that it was his first or second time doing it since the injury. It was my first time ever seeing the show live, so I'd love to see him at 100%, if that's what he could do while injured. Everything else that was mentioned by everyone was still the same - lots of crate jokes, still using the crutch sometimes, and the carwash is still happening to someone on the stage right section of the front row, with JCM lowering himself offstage. I've never seen someone with a bad leg that's that flexible before. He lifted the bad leg almost to his head several times during the high-energy songs. Oh, and (minor spoiler alert), along with the changes for his leg, he also updated the "Sucking sound that Anderson Cooper calls a show" line. I'll definitely be seeing JCM again once Rebecca joins as Yitzhak. (Nothing against Lena, she 100% deserved that Tony and I loved her on that stage. I just won't be able to get back there until Rebecca joins.)

mac, google the word philistine. You're bound to see the humor!

@ JPeterman - OMG! How funny! We will have to look for each other! I was sad i could only get second row because, when i checked the other day, there were 3 front row center seats available for the date i wanted, but when i checked back the next day they were gone with just the seat i ended up getting in the second row. LOL. Front Row was a really thrilling experience for me but i am sure it will be just as good second row. lol.
-It's funny how a certain user never fails to respond to me whenever i post with some sarcastic annoyance, but I never respond back- Dude is obsessed and creepy. HaHa

Does anyone have any updates on his knee and his brace?

I was at the same show as wdwfreak, and I too was amazed by how much JM could do. He seems to have dropped the JDate bit, doing only Grindr. I think he was ad libbing like crazy, but it's hard for me to tell what's scripted and what's actually new. He makes it all sound off the cuff! A great show.

I was the car wash at the 3/8 10pm show. It was like seeing God.

EFF your mom. And your dad. And your parents.

He does sit down quite a bit on a leather stool that looks like it's a refugee from a '60s track home. He never climbed the walls, to my knowledge. (He said from the beginning that he didn't want to do that.) Plus, he doesn't do the costume change inside the car hood during Wig in a Box. As others have mentioned, Yitzhak changes him onstage.

Sondheimite, did you ever listen to the TimesTalk that JCM and Stephen did, I guess back when the show first hit Broadway? JCM has a funny story to tell about someone who got a little too personal with him during the car wash. He didn't say the person's name, but Stephen chimed in with it! Very funny!

Anyone who's going please keep updating me on his knee, I'm really hoping he's doing better by friday when I go to see it.

I had tkts for the 10pm performance friday 4/10! I want to die! It s my only week in New York! I m from Buenos Aires, Argentina and i have already bought tkts for every night in town! Seeing JCM was one of my main reasons to do this trip!

It sounds like the 4/10 10:00 show is still on. Did you get a call your show was canceled?

This surprises me. I just read an interview with JCM that said the Friday at 10:00 was his favorite performance. It brought out all the fans. It was the most boisterous. Hmmm. Maybe it's just too much for his knee?

according to Telecharge, the 10pm shows cancelled are 4/10, 4/17 & 4/24. They've been replaced with a Sunday at 7pm show.
