Truly considering flying to Cali to catch this.

Any chance this is a test to see if she'd play Hedwig for the rest of the tour?

Honestly, that is a reason for the tour to stop in NY just for Lena Hall to do it- Brilliant casting!

I already have season tickets to the Pantages and and seeing Darren on 11/5. As soon as single tickets go on sale, you can bet I'll be seeing Lena as Hedwig!!!

That sounds like it would be fun, but I'm guessing not. They probably did this in the first place so they could give Darren a night off.

This makes me wonder if they're going to have one standby cover both roles (probably not, but I guess you never know!)

Wow that is amazing! I wish I could see her. I hope at least Darren continues with the tour; what are the chances of that?

I'd see her do the show in a second, that sounds really exciting. Darren Criss , on the other hand, was a really boring choice.

Now living in DC. I really have to change my name on the board.

I wonder if they'll bring in Shannon Conley to cover Yitzhak for these performances or just go with someone different?

I was going to pass on seeing HEDWIG at the Pantages, but now I have a reason to go. :)

Hall and Criss will each have an understudy traveling on tour. This, however, is pure fun and satisfies the curiosity many had about whether Hall could/would perform as Hedwig.

Truthfully, I'm not a huge fan of the idea of a woman playing Hedwig (seeing Ally Sheedy will do that to ya), but I'm excited to see what Lena can will do with it.

Just bought tickets for same day matinee and evening. Don't think I would have done this if Lena wasn't announced. My god - what an opportunity! A Hedwig weekend in SF - woot woot!!

Seems unlikely to me. I really think they need a name of some sort to sell this show on tour, and Hall isn't one. (Also, does anyone else think it's somewhat disingenuous for the headline of the release to announce that Hall is joining the tour when she's, in fact, joining it for a grand total of two dates?)

I wonder if they'll have any of the understudies go on at all? That's the only way I'd see this. I wasn't a fan of Hall in NY. Never saw Criss, didn't want to.

I was so looking forward to finally seeing the show, but when Darren was announced, I lost all interest, but now that Lena is joining, I will just have to see it! Definetly as Hedwig and maybe I could bear watching Criss if I got to see her Yitzhak.
