"JCM also whispered "Trust me, I'll be back, I caught the bug" to a girl at the stage door on his final performance."
Did you witness this exchange firsthand?
gage-it's "ulterior" motives.
You minus well get it right. Supposably.
Wasn't JCM saying that line about returning to doing more theater in general toward the end of his run, in several interviews, and not about Hedwig specifically?

This exchange I did not personally witness. However, the source is beyond reliable.
That quote was his response to her asking "will you come back", so I couldn't imagine he was only referring to acting in general.
Does that answer the question?

For some reason I'm getting the impression that he isn't too interested in the female variety....

Still nothing ... Just more bad press for Taye Diggs' mediocre performance ... I'm losing hope ... COME ON GLENN! JCM! ANYONE!!!
I don't think we'll heard anything until September. Also, maybe if Diggs' advance sales for Sept & Oct aren't good, they might considering closing the show.
The show has consistently released casting information a little under two months before each new Hedwig's debut. I will be shocked if news doesn't come out this week.

Wowwwww ... Anyone have insider info? I don't want it to close
This may be way off, but I don't think it will close. There are too many things happening on Broadway right now that I think they will at least get one more run out of Hedwig.
I would really like to see Alan Cummings as Hedwig. I also would want to see Lady Gaga.
I don't want this show to close either, simply because I'm having a lot of fun anticipating who will be the next Hedwigs. Glenn Howertown would be a terrific choice, imo.

Yes, it does. It means that what you reported is hearsay since you didn't witness it yourself.

I never realized posting on BWW was considered witness testimony...
If you are reading this Stephen Trask: Please let the next Hedwig be Glenn Howerton!! And please fire Rebecca Naomi Jones and bring back a true talent like LENA HALL!
Sorry

Seriously? There is a 0% chance of Rebecca being fired. She's been getting great reviews within Taye's not so great reviews. And she really is a fantastic Yitzhak.

Rebecca is truly wonderful.
As a huge Sunny fan I would be interested in seeing Glenn as Hedwig but I'd be surprised if they didn't cast a bigger name.

Lena has left the show and has moved on to new things, she's in Stephen's new show.
You are the first person I have ever seen who doesn't like RNJ.
Lol when's the last time you had a vision test?

One of the Hedwig techs texted me that he thinks the announcement will be sometime this week.
