The Next Hedwig?

I know there have been a million threads about this already, but they've been about specific pieces of speculation. I wanted to start a general umbrella thread for this.

News about Darren's casting emerged around February 17. News about Taye's casting emerged around May 17/18. If the production keeps this kind of continuity, we should expect casting news around August 17/18.

Any hard rumors?

The only rumor I was aware of was Alan Cumming but he already said he is not doing Hedwig after Taye.

Otherwise I haven't seen any actual rumors who it's going to be. Wishful thinking and ideas yes, but no actual rumors based on statements or pics or teasing etc.

Wishful thinking is that they are going to do something out of left field to get the attention and money rolling again.

Anyone have any updates?

I heard from a source the producers were actually toying around with the idea of having a female Hedwig... Which that kind of 'choice' would seriously depend on the actress, imo

They have been on the record that they wouldn't rule that out, and it would depend on casting for a while now.

^ Are you saying she is next, or that you think she would be good?

I really want Lena Hall to come back to be Hedwig. I think she would be amazing.

I would love to see Gaga do it. I love her. I love her voice. I think she's amazing. Do you think she would do it? I don't see her doing it... but then again, I never thought she would be touring with Tony Bennett. She's full or surprises. I think she's just too big.

I'd like to see Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Hedwig.

Someone should just keep a list of these same names over and over again, and just paste the list every time a new thread is started.

"Gaga"

When I saw Ally Sheedy play Hedwig at Jane Street I never for one instance thought I was seeing a man with a botched sex change operation. Lena Hall was able to play Yitzhak and be believable as a man...It would take an actress with the right body and skills to be believable as a male Hedwig. Lady Gaga is an amazing musician and performer, but can she act?

Gaga would be great, but I think she will be filming Ameican Horror Story then. Unless they extend Taye or have someone else come back for a few weeks to bridge the gap.

If it was Gaga the ticket prices would be higher than the elevation Of Mount Everest.

In other words, they would be beyond ridiculous.

While recently watching Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt for the second time, I was struck by what an interesting and potentially phenomenal of a Hedwig Tituss Burgess could be.

A year and a half ago Roxy stated it plainly that he had no interest in "Mr. Harris or his inch."

Why is he posting about this?

I've heard that they're talking to John Mayer's people.

But then again, aren't we all?

"Why is he posting about this?"

I guess it's hard to sit on a great metaphor (and immediate explanation of the metaphor) like that...

LOL. In other words, you made me laugh out loud.
