Lena Hall Discusses Possibility of Playing Hedwig Full-Time

Tony Award Winner Lena Hall is currently taking the Hedwig and the Angry Inch tour by storm, pulling double-duty as Yitzhak, that role that earned her a Tony, for six performances a week, and stepping into the shoes of the title character once a week. In a Billboard review released yesterday, Hall spoke about the experience of switching between the two characters, and how she came to decide to step back into the show that changed her life.

Perhaps most intriguing to fans, however, is Hall's expression during the interview of interest in playing Hedwig full-time. When discussing her future plans, Hall told Billboard: "I'm hoping that after L.A., I can hang up my Yitzhak hat, and hopefully they'll give me a small run as Hedwig somewhere -- like my own run where I don't have to do both roles."

Only time will tell if that wish will come true, but fans, like Hall, can certainly hope. For the full interview, click here.
