What's your theory on Tommy Gnosis (obvious Hedwig spoilers)

[Jane2]

OH, I don't believe they become blended in the way I made it sound. Tommy remains his own person, even if he's left Hedwig. I meant that when Hedwig says he's looking for his other half, the one to make him whole, that Tommy is the one. Of course during Hedwig's monologue when they are about to make love, he says "he's the one"

Alix - in the current production, doesn't Hedwig/Hansel wipe the cross off his head during Midnight Radio? I've only seen it from the back orch, so it may not be all the way gone, but at one point he definitely wipes his forehead and then looks at his hand and sees the paint.

^^ Oh, does he? I saw it from the balcony...I don't remember that detail but it's definitely possible. Going again in August, will have to watch for it then.

Effed, just got home and looked at my book again...you're right, "Hedwig/Tommy" is only used once. Hmm. Once is enough to make me question my interpretation, though.

Ultimately, I love that it's not super clear what happens in the end. Very interesting to hear others' impressions!
