Andrew Rannells to replace NPH in HEDWIG

[CurtainPullDowner]

Perhaps NPH will return after Rannells 8 weeks and they are just not announcing it yet so people don't say, "oh, i'll just wait till Neil returns"?

Just a theory.

I was hoping that they would perhaps put Wayne Brady in. Has there ever been a black Hedwig?

[Adair Haywind]

I'm about 80% sure Andrew is just in place to keep the show open until Pink is available.

[Sutton Ross]

Pink isn't an actress, so I have no idea why you would think that. Do you have any inside scoop?

[Testing1232]

Not sure if this would make a BIG difference, but I believe NPH is once again booked to be a "Candlelight Processional" Guest Narrator this year (Disneyworld/Epcot- most likely 1st week of December)---

So, unless he had an understudy this time around, cant see him coming back-
He would be missing a week of performances, and from all accounts, he really wants to spend more time with the family- and last 4 years, I have seen them in Disney for the holidays-

[Adair Haywind]

Whoa, chill out. I have no inside scoop, just pure speculation. There was an article awhile back reporting that Pink was in talks for the role.

[Sutton Ross]

Chill out? I wasn't attacking you in any way, I was just asking if you knew something I didn't.

The only article mentioning Pink was some guy in Florida's blog:

And he just said the producers were interested in her, but didn't even know if she had expressed any interest back yet. So, not a lot there to hang one's hopes on...

[Sutton Ross]

Yeah, I can't imagine that happening since she doesn't act and I think she's pregnant.

I think you're nasty. You're trying to make Adair feel stupid for his comment.
